    Which colour suits it best?

    Which do y'all thinks look better? I'm going to get a resto done on the body work later in the year and get it repainted too at the same time. Had a couple of plays on photoshop and I fancied something different to a matte black car, as my last 3 cars were matte black, and I've had about a dozen other cars matte black as well.

    I am thinking satin white, and was thinking of gloss black with it too on the roof and the bulge in the hood too, or just have the roof gloss black. Or there is always the option of just have the whole thing satin white?

    What do y'all think suits it best? (note, I will be having the windows tinted too later on)

    I voted all white.

    By the way, what software did you use to create the different color schemes on the car?

    I used Serif Photo Plus SE (the free trial version) as it's really good, and the free trial lets you do 80% of the stuff, and is freeeeeeeeeeeeeee (I like things that are free if you can't tell!!)

    This was another photo edit I did. This was a friend's suggestion, and I'm kinda digging the look, though I think it looks a bit AE86-ish. What do y'all think?

    Yea, the AE86 comments would drive me nuts I think, but we will see. I gotta get the rust that's on the lower half sorted, and I'll paint below the bump strip satin black to start off with, and see how it looks. If the weather is good enough, I'll get started on that on Thursday as that's my next day off, though that day will probably be spent replacing the CV joints if the motor factors can get them in.
