Paint colour

What colour DOES NOT suit a TC. I realize that there are many who prefer a car to remain as originally designed but I`m considering a change to my rebuild.

I'd say orange, or the MGB Blaize would not be good.
Whatever colour you choose be careful when picking a match for the upholstary.

I find it ironic that the colours red, white, and blue stand for freedom, until they're flashing behind you.

I think it's a personal choice really, but I've never been a fan of anything metallic. I also don't like orange, or orangey reds. Not crazy about yellow either. I saw a silver car once that didn't look bad. There's a very dark blue TC in our club that looks great, and also a Bugatti blue that's really sharp.
