What colour?

Post by New_Boy_Traveller »

Just getting new wood fitted to my traveller. Gonna replace all the inside and spray the whole thing inside and out. But was wondering what peoples views where on the best/nicest colour. It was an almond green colour and I really dont like that. So what do you think?

New car colours, especially metallic blues are my favourite. Most of the 60s BMC colours are quite dull and something brighter can make the cars look surprisingly 'modern'.

Go to some morris minor meetings, local branch, national rally etc, and see what colours you like!

Black, snowberry or old english white or Trafalgar Blue are the best original colours, IMHO.

BTW, you do realise that properly respraying a moggie to a new colour is a big windows out, complete stripdown job, inside and out!
Cheers John - all comments IMHO

I can totally see where you are coming from.

My recent car was a boring grey, the outside had been sprayed blue grey. I decided to spray back to the original and after I purchased the paint and stripped everything off, windows out etc. I could have sprayed any coluor I wanted..

I must say that I love maroon B the colour of my first traveller but tonight have agreed to buy an unfinished traveller project, was almond green, but may become maroon b or a sexy vw yellow. :D
