Righto... Still thinking about my paint job choices... And seeing the matt black fto in japan has got me thinking i may be able to do the same.

Choices are:
- Light blue with Black/CF roof

- Matt Black with wide arches
Image
Image

-Pearl Orange with Black/CF Roof
Image

Cast your vote and let me know what you think.

remember i bought the FTO and modified it purely to be unique.
So i sont want a run of the mill paint job.

Not a fan of it either... Just a personal preference..

I dont want "just" a colour... i want something way different.

mind you i have never liked matt black before... but the fto looks sexy

I think i'm going to have to do a body fix up on some of my paint chips ... but I will get some quotes for a proper fix up first seriously though,

I think any of those colours would look sweet as ... 'tis really up to you ... though when I get to the point of respraying my car I'm going to go all out & get pearlescent / colour change / thermal paint ... going to be custom airbrushing it myself as well...
