    Re: Berlinetta doors cracking and splitting - any fixes?

    DC also tells me its powder blue - he thinks it may not be a good berli colour so I am going to photoshop some images and see

    What do you think?

      not a 'strong' colour but everyone to their choice, bearing resale in mind of course!

          Would not be my choice. That colour says to me "don't mind me I will just blend in" but the car is unusual and does stand out and deserves a more striking colour. Just my thoughts.

            Very Similar to Triumph Wedgewood blue. Would certainly look better with navy blue wings.

              I would be interested to see a pic with navy wings as my roadster is a similar blue to above.

                    That is a big improvement. I intend to paint mine solid blue, slightly darker than the wings shown here and probably metalic.

                      beauty is in the eye of the beerholder of course. I am not a fan of two tone I have to say. I am trying to get a modern twist without being silly, aiming for 1950s rather than 30s look (modern!). I saw a rather splendid Adams Roadster in Wedgewood/Powder blue and it was stunning. But keep the ideas coming - I havent decided yet -though the memsahib is a force to be reckoned with.

                        The shade as well as the darkness has to be right (there are many blues). Hit blue car images in google - lots of options.

                          I liked my Berli with Royal Blue and black wings and running boards but a strong red with black is good too.
