In the distant future I will be at a stage to spray my roundie (it is currently in a garage far far away)

I have been thinking of colours for some time now and at the top of my list is this...

It is Speedwell blue.

Correction, it's not ace, it's phung-kay or groov-ay. (funky or groovy)
Hey, there's a number plate.

Speedwell blue comes from the same family of mini colours as my van which is smoke grey(it's more blue than grey) I think it is a great colour. the great thing about it is that it gives off different tones in different light. Whereas red is red, yellow is yellow. Grey/blue however changes tone. which is great. One thing i noticed was that the colours cards that the paint shop did up gave no real indication on what it actually looks like on the car. I still have the original card. place it on the card it blends in, but look at it by itself and you would never want your car that colour. You need a good sized sample to get it's true colour and then look at it in different light. trust me it is worth doing.

Cheers

Aaron

PS. Am I starting to sound like one of those interior designer types? :shock:
