    So tonight I've been trying to decide on the body colour. These are the choices.

    [ATTACH]341434[/ATTACH]

    My girls both like the titanium silver (middle). I like the blue, but the other Ferrari I built is also blue, so that's probably out.

    The gold is my least favourite, unless I was building it for the Sultan of Brunei.

    Decisions decisions.

      Out of those it would be the gunmetal for me, with the titanium as a second choice.

        Hi, is yellow not an option, other than that I'd say gunmetal.

              Cheers for the input guys.

              Mark, the gunmetal was my favourite, but having now seen it in silver I really like that.

              Mark, I really wanted to do a metallic so yellow isn't an option. The green would look nice on a Lamborghini.

                Hi, I think I'm a bit biased to the green as I have an Mercedes AMG a class in elheit green unfortunately it seems to be only available on the Mercedes GTR now, must start saving my pennies.

                  Hi Bob
                  All coming on a treat. Love those wheels. I am sure it will look well in whatever colour you decide. I like silver.

                    Well, I've decided, and it's none of the above.

                    I made up a couple of mixes and I'm going with a 50/50 mix of gunmetal and titanium silver. It's the bottom left in the pic below.

                          Cheers guys.

                          It went down well, I'll post pics tomorrow after glossing.

                            Got this glossed this morning, still not quite as glossy as I was hoping so might give it one more coat of very thin gloss followed by some polish.

                              Hi Bob
                              Very nice choice of colour. I am sure your idea of another gloss coat and a polish will be worth a go.

                                Cheers Jim.

                                It actually feels completely smooth so I'm not sure if it's just the metallic finish, but I'll give it another gloss coat anyway.
