what colour?

Post by themightylionel »

Hi everyone!

I am hoping to get Lionel sprayed in the near future, hopefully! I was just wondering if anyone had any interesting colour ideas? It is currently trafalgar blue and I'm not too sure whether to keep it original or to change it completely. Ideas and pictures would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.. Becca :D

Very much personal choice. What's your favourite colour? If you change too radically then youmight need to change interior to match, which will add more expense.

If you fancy something unique without having to change interiors, how about making it 2-tone blue? A number of different ways of doing that but my preference would be to have bonnet, boot, door bulges and lower front wings and rear wings trafalgar blue (are you following this?) and the rest a lighter sky-blue colour :D All the best whatever you decide
