Respray the stretched limo

I think this would be a good colour to do it, regal turquoise:

I hate to say it but I quite like that colour, BUT... she that MUST be obeyed reckons it is too blue and might look overpowering on the Sprinter.

As usual Unit504 has come up trumps with the picture, but a tealite type blue or any other silvery blue is looking favourite.

On Bobby Dazzler's link there was a nice looking white\gold combination. NOT the one in link 63

I'm told the base coat on our vehicle has been bleached and that to me is influencing my decision. The probable cause of this bleaching is perhaps the vehicle being stationary which is something that is always going to happen.

We have had the light colour, dark colour debate on a number of occasions and to me it has always been a no brainer. In bright sunlight, plonk your bare backside on a black painted car :devil: :devil: Then to cool down sit on a white painted one.:) :) On our previous Sprinter we had the bog standard Mercedes air conditioning which was great for the driver, but as much use as the proverbial chocolate tooth pick :o The dark red simply absorbed the heat and poor old me used to swelter in the back of the vehicle. The white roof section is practical, but might not look nice?

Looks nice on a car, but not sure what it would look like on a larger area such as the limo.
Maybe Simon could do a piccy;)

One thing though, it would be exclusive;)

Too pretty...mind you it would go Ok with a manbag...:D

PMSL.
Shall we keep this (and all other) threads, free from that terrible thread that only Pammy herself could think of;)

But yes, you're right.

:eek: :eek: It was Gucci that started it - honest sir :o - but yes - not on this thread - or any other apart from the man bag thread.

I reckon living where he does one of John's main cncerns needs to be about keeping it as cool as poss so reflecting the sunlight away rather than absorbing it. So why not just chrome it :devil: :devil: :devil:
 
And pretty good with it.

John this is a winner.
:D :D Oh no it isn't :D

I'd be grateful if everyone can chuck in ideas about choice of colour; even 'contraversial' ones :D

only just read post 67

not spot on but as close as i could get it - the colour of the Jags a bugger!!
could find any colour references in my swatch here that matched that well:(
but this is what i came up with :)

looks on the grey side - but there is a lot of white reflections on the jag image - which made it harder :(
sorry need better pic :(
