Next colour scheme for Esprit?

M Blur · Post by **M Blur** » Sat Jun 03, 2006 11:13 pm

Thinking of changing the Esprit's war paint for next season - the current Hazzard azure blue colours are the car's third over the last 10 or so years of racing..

Given the very 70's wedge design my prefs being sth that's no metallic and easy to repair..

Black
Bright Green/lime
Yellow
silver?

Time for a pole?

Would the JPS black & gold lotus colours from the 80s look naff?

Scandal green is the way to go.

you just wouldn't want to meet the owner.. Esprit many things but you'll find no curling tongs or hair products at least - no glovebox...

Looks like Scandal green is getting the nod - JPS would be great but perhaps cliche..

The current pearlescent Aspen white with red graphics!

Pearls, metalics etc all no good as a pain to patch from trading paint..

Orange is nice but needs lots fo white first due to transparency..

Sth matt but bright - ideally to work with black so I can do lower panels in black and in stone guard at front...

Jon, is Scandal green not metallic?

If so, Kawasaki green is non-metalic, and therefore cheaper surely?

Still love the old ZXRs when I see them..
