Choose the colour you like

[Charles Morgan]

I can't post a poll in my W114 project thread so posted it here - if an Moderator is so inclined, it could be merged in there.

Just as an interesting exercise for me, I would like to canvass opinions on my colour choice for my car. The original white isn't going to happen, so these are the options

1. Beige grey metallic

2. Anthracite grey metallic

3. Horizon blue

That Blue is gorgeous... however I think solid colours work better in sunnier climes..

Here in the UK, I dont think it would look so good..

I have voted the middle grey.

 

[trapperjohn]

Not the blue. MakeS the car look weedy IMO,

I've voted for the blue; after all the hard work you've put into the car going for a grey just seems, well, a little grey for the amount of toil.

 

[Charles Morgan]

I thought you were colour blind! Mr T

old cars work better with non metallic paints .. the shiny paints for old cars look out of place.

I voted blue ..

you can look at it instead of the sky when it's cloudy

 

[KillerHERTZ]

None of the above, black looks best on cars of this vintage IMO

Dark blue would be my preference if it was offered, but ignore me; it almost always is. My R129 (STILL not ready to go...) is in Schwarzblau :bannana:

I voted 1 principally because its a colour redolent of the time of the car. Anything that doesn't bear a relationship to Mercedes current meagre offering of Forty Shades of Grey can only be an improvement.
I see 1 as a light bronze ?

Anthracite grey metallic...or Horizon blue,difficult to call,two completely
different looks,both stunning.I have voted blue because I can see the car
as a summer/fair weather Queen.

No 1 for me Charles

 

[Howard]

I went for 1 , it's not too far off Cubanite Silver which is one of my faves.

 

[ringway]

Nothing to beat this IMHO. It is lovely. LINK.

 

[Bellow]

I have voted.

 

[regbuser]

of those options, like the horizon blue

That's lush. Maybe a possibility Charles ?

 

[John]

I voted option 2.

I think that sets the car off nicely.

However, I do agree with the black suggestion.

The light blue makes me think of old Austin Allegro police cars or Invacars...

 

[GLK]

Non-metalic medium-light grey would be by far the best option, in my opinion.

Stunning.

 

[ringway]

Stunning.

It is indeed.

Spoilt it with that aerial though.
