powder blue with white roof

I personally prefer the darker colours but like a contrasting roof colour.

Good Question.

I think silver with a red interior is safe and looks good. I'm partial to darker colours though that you can get a nice reflection on and show off the Ghia's curves. If I could afford it I'd probably get something like a candy apple red, or midnight blue. Get all the fittings re-chromed/polished, and I think you'd have a real head turner.

Just avoid signal orange like mine,....lol.

Yeah, Ian that's my cars twin, only I've got a cabrio version. Same year model 70, and colour orange.

That silver on the dyno looks the best from the three you posted.

Anyone know where I get get some of those sleek side view mirrors like the ones on that black ghia.

What colours did you have in mind Greg?

PPPHHHOOOAAARRR!!! Action shot! wish i could have been there for that...Is that yours Simon?

guru · 5 Sep 2009, 9:58 pm

yeah mate. That was Thursday evening. Only taken 13 years to get this far.

isky · 5 Sep 2009, 10:06 pm

lol....it was worth it. This might sound like a dumb question but is that yellow the final colour? or is it just another part of the undercoating process?

Yogie · 6 Sep 2009, 2:10 pm

Is that you doing the painting as well Simon? Looking good.
