Home on th-ragne is a classic colour!

But a modern substitute will work. Remeber when those BA Falcons came out with those weird colours? Orange, lime-ish yello and a yellowish-lime LOL.

Well I'd get that Falcon orange, which would probably be a lot like (An Aussie verison perhaps) the colour on the Ford Focus. And as willy said with black roof and black wheels. Actaully that sounds (apart form the wheels) a lot like 'Meeni's car on this forum. But his car is a roundy.

I cant photoshop my own car its all in peices and the only shot i did of when i got it was with the hood up , find me a white clubman and ill do it. That lambo orange, where would you find that in Adelaide?

A really good bright orange is a BA falcon colour called Blood Orange. I can't remember the paint code for it but if you need to know you can ring up PPG and they will tell you over the phone no probs.

It is a two-pack colour but a good paint place should be able to colour match it for you easily in either enamel or arylic (PPG sometimes release the same colours in different paints too). In Victoria a company called Bayford sell PPG paints but again if you ring PPG they will tell you over the phone who the dealers are near you.

I don't have PPG's number but it should be easy to find. I'll post a picture of my mini soon.

thats a lambo diablo hehe

Ah well, I can't afford either of 'em anyway

OK, I need to find a spray painter somewhere in Adelaide. I need some help as to who and where also not too pricey. I just want a spray paint job, all preparation will be done by me. Close to the southern suburbs would be easier, Thanks for any help.
