Edit: RedlightningSVX, your paint job is beautiful! The only colours I like close to as much as the pearl/black are red/black and blue/black. The SVX just isn't as SVX without the black top, in my opinion.

Re: New and Improved
I'm sorry too. It's a shame that such a wonderful feat and a beautiful car in this thread has to be soiled already.. Kinda like rock chips.. Won't go away and can only be covered up temporarily...

Having said that the tri-coat pearl SVX white is really nice, a deep and lustrous colour. I like it a lot. There is one white car in England that has had the trunk lid sprayed pearl white, but kept the black roof. That car looks way cool. The UK market red did not come in the all-over one colour red like your 93 anniversary Barcelona cars. Instead it was black over barcelona. It is possible that in 96 they may have sold an all-over Bright Red, but I have never seen nor heard of one sold.* The all-over bright silver and polo green are pretty common. * Edit. Ahmed's car is the all-over Brilliant Red, plus it is dual fuel converted. I forgot that one. I'm not stuck on black over or all over. Either works for me, but I have favourites. #1 would be the black over swiss mica red. #2 would be all-over mica black. #3 would be black over pearl white. #4 would be black over dark grey metallic, but with a proviso: I would prefer the dark metallic grey colour all over the car. On that colour the black roof is a nonsense, you can only see it in certain light. It would be best as an all-over dark grey. I like the blue as well, but those are my favourites. Joe

Re: New and Improved
Let me sum this up for all of you. I have carefully been collating data from this thread. The general consensus is as follows:
redlightning's car owns with or without black wheels anthonybuchanan's car fails miserably with his $199.99 MACO paint job and gay ass wing |

Re: New and Improved
Both cars are absolutely beautiful. Especially the Brilliant Red, but I guess I'm just biased.

Re: New and Improved
Always liked the idea of a Barcelona two tone... Now that I have seen it though, I would personally go with the ruby mica.
Great job on the finish, looks very nice!! Tom |

Re: New and Improved
Thanks Tom. I too love the ruby mica/blak top combo. It was my first choice but didn't go through because I would need to respray the engine bay and that would be impossible to me because it's my DD.

Re: New and Improved
Beautiful! This could be very expensive, I know where I can find a cheap red SVX...the cheaper the car the more they cost in the end I always loved red & black.
