I was just looking at a rather nice light metallic green on a Ginetta G32, have seen a similar color on a Marlin and it looked good.

Try a 1991 Subaru Mint Green - as seen on YTB 432, it was the closest that the paint factor could get to the original colour and and mixed to make aerosol cans

Sorry Baz, all went with the car - but I'm sure a paint shop could tell you.

I have more or less decided to paint my Berli a similar colour. The colour I'm going to use is Ford deep impact blue. Google it then click images.

That looks a lot like my unidentified colour. Cheers Scott.

That is a gorgeous green. Have you considered spicing it up with a second shade as here:

Or going really bold with yellow as here:

Guess who’s just been reading an article about Duesys.

Re: Best Colour...

How could you paint anything based (however loosely) on an Alfa ......anything but red?

Re: Best Colour...

Paul did tell me it was based on the 1931 Alfa Romeo 1750.. this looks stunning and its not red !!!

Re: Best Colour...

Even if it does look a bit like a Hairdressers car it is seriously tasty. I love the under over of the front and rear wings. Is it just me or do the seat backs look over stuffed for that era. I love the reflective rip tray. Sorry I also have a Series 1 Land-Rover.
