Hot Rods What Color Should an Anglia /Prefect Be?

Had lots of thoughts of color. When I got to go actually buy the paint, I just said black. Happy I did. Eastwood single stage. Make sure to use reducer. Only five years old, and 60,000 miles, but looks as good, maybe better than when first done.

 

Black

 

Hope I don't get in trouble posting my Austin, but it's early enough to look closer to an Anglia than later Austins did.
I loved many of the old gassers, and always have. When I had mine painted I wanted something that looked period correct and I went with 1974 Corvette Dark Red Metallic #74. It's got a lot of gold metallic in it and just sparkles in the sun, or under bright lights at night.
Hard to tell in this pic:


This one shows the metallic better:

 

Apparently mine is going to be Red.

 

Sharp!!!

 

Getting there.

 

Now lay some fuscha pearl over that and clear it!

 

Looks great.

So much depends upon

Red, White, Blue, Green, or Gold

 

I vote Petty Blue !
(I'm a Ford guy but LOVE that shade of blue. Once had a Falcon Sprint painted that color)

In Dearborn we called it Grabber Blue.

 

I’d be all over the candy red orange and yellow colors over several bace colors and ranging from silver to black pearl or flake. You can panel paint with bace or color or both. You could use the red from your other car and then panel paint this one with the candy colors.

 

A little closer. Kinda beyond changing my mind now.

 

Candy Apple Red looks good on them.

 

It looks sharp in Red Mitchell

 

I like it!

 

Here's an engine picture ( kind of) and a before picture. A very cool little car.
