What colour?
We have a convertible that we have done all the mechanicals on but the paint is woeful (psychadelic paint for a tv ad). What colour should we paint
it? I want to do something a bit cool but Dean wants to paint it white!! What colour would you like to buy is the question I suppose.

tell dean i said white is too boring!!!  unless it is it's original
colour 
i reckon gunmetal grey with the convertible roof would look good (provided it is a black roof.. if it is a white roof, then go the green with white
walls, and stocky rims

depends, on the person, somebody who i bold and probably younger would want red or orange, while a bit mor suttle would be pep green or white.
Personally go the green, if its done really well will look very nice.
I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!

White is pretty safe for a turnaround, but consider that a Convey Bug is generally driven by a Grrrrrly. You may be better of with Red (ask more
money). Grey isn't gonna do you much good tho' probably?!? Just my opinion!

i voted red, only because you didnt have yellow as an option.
Bright yellow with a black top looks really good.
will look good any colour you do it, but white is a tad boring

I don't normally vote for red but this time I did....non of the other colours grabbed me..I was leaning toward Burnt Orange for some reason...it can
look good
A good red can look very hot and stylish
Peppermint Green is big....but never a choice of mine...it is a bit retro I guess if that's the direction you're going

Burnt Orange
Its a cool retro colour which will looks tops if its done right !!!
heres what I think of the others
Porsche Red: Very 80s and trying to be a porsche
Peppermint : 80s
Gun metal Grey :very 90s and a bitch to get right
White : BORING sorry Dean who really buys a white car if they have a choice of a colour
Flames : only if there done right usally only one in a hundered turn out good.
