and I thought I would see what colour people thought was good.

I have included the Hammerite paint swatch here. Probably my paint of choice.

I quite fancy the 'wild Thyme', wadda you think?

If you think that is a weird, ponsy colour the Hammerite do an even more 'Laura Ashley' colour range now!

Unfortunately no tartan or gingham colours available.

Forgot to go to the paint shop today, to have a look.

Don't really fancy red as it is done too often on an Alfa and it is a black car, so a black car with a black engine might look a bit to much that I was trying for a full colour match, but I get your thinking.

Keep the suggestions coming......

I would probably go for copper as it looks a bit like rust so you won't notice so much when it starts flaking off.. Very Happy
