Help needed with respray ideas

Post by fastlad21 »

im thinkin bout resprayin mt lil red corsa, but im strugglin to think of a gd colour combo.

my first thoughts are black and orange but im not sure how far to take the orange, i was thinkin bout leavin the side strips on and just paintin them orange as a bit of a contrast, would i be rite in thinkin that a gsi interior has orange details on it? and is there any other interiors that are black and orange?


could anyone suggest any other colour combos for me?

any ideas would be gratefully received, thnx Rob

white wheels suit a red car or blue
or even white aslong as its same shade of white!

id remove the sidestrips and just paint the car, if ur guna leave the strips on then leave them black i think they look daft painted

Ferarri red with white wheels thats wat id go for
also follow the same theme inside spray some of the dash white and some red (obviosly do it tastfully!)
