Hank Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 In trying to decide on a final color for my Megabusa, I created a color rotator. I'm leaning towards white first, then electric blue. Your thoughts? http://henry-bell.com/images/megabusacolorchange/megabusarotator.htm And no, that car is not a Megabusa, but it does make for a great image to photoshop with!

locost7018 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Personally I would do gloss black with black wheels for a 7 that hot, Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slngsht Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Electric blue or blood red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scannon Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Yellow, but use the Miata sunburst yellow from '92 (paint code HZ). If I ever paint my Caterham, that is what I will use. Skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanG Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I like the darker colors. Unless you color match the top air screens I think the lighter colors are too jaring against the black. White would look good with color matched grill screens although I think it would need something (e.g., striping) to make it pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandurath Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Metallic dark blue, gold tone rims with silver graphics. Black interior with blue piping, chrome accents. Something like the word Megabusa done in Japanese on the side of the hood opposite of the intakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oilteq Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 As a practical matter (yeah, like these cars are practical), I would recommend white. The stone guards on the rear fenders are not for decoration—the front tires hurl stones. The stickier the tires, the more stones they pick up and hurl rearwards. Assuming the glass is white, dark blue paint will show every rock chip. You would not notice rock chips with white paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winston Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 The red is stunning! Agreed! Definitely my favorite on that car, out of the choices shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCh Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 The color is in the gel coat on a Westfield and it is pretty thick, so no need to worry about stone chips. Yes, they do show, but they are not a contrasting color. I personally prefer a bright color for safety, which is why I went with red. However, after following my car on a bright day recently, I discovered that red brake lights don't show up that well against a red background. Something to think about... -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
