Hot Rods What Color Should an Anglia /Prefect Be?

I want to see everyone that has an Anglia or Prefect. I have everything to paint my Prefect Red. BUT my Willy’s is Red. Was considering another color for the Prefect. You aren’t going to hurt my feelings. And yes multi colors are good also. I have doors, rear fenders , trunk , and front cap already to unbolt. I painted the Willy’s while it was apart and it helped me a lot. And it’s a lot smaller than the Willy’s which is a plus.
Let it rip. I want to see what you got.
Thanks.

 

I would paint it white with blue lace on the sides. The white will help it to stay cool when you're racing with the windows closed.

 

Might I suggest plum crazy purple?

 

Orange looks cool

 

The white would help hid some things. Its solid. But it’s still not a perfect body. And it is a race car so that’s a thought. I got a gallon of orange also.
Had a 56 that had the plug crazy purple and loved it.
Also I am going single stage. I cleared the Willy’s and even though it shines etc I have some orange peel that I need to buff out. Didnt have it before the clear. Dont plan on clearing this one.

 

Steve and Rhonda Woods prefect was always purple.

 

Mitchell, my one friend has 2 '48s one is bright red with candy purple stripes and the other is off white and bright green (with a grey tweed interior- YUCK). I like the red one, he built it over 40 years ago,,, buick odd fire v6, Saginaw 4 speed and a red and black velour button tufted interior...oh yea OPEL front suspension. Mitch

 

Orange!

 

Black with flames

 

It needs to be the prefect color for that car.

 

Well, since you are asking, no orange, no purple, and no yellow. I hate all of those colors on cars. But, that is me.

 

Another vote for purple here.

 

Im for purple also.

With maybe the boot lid in a pearl white with some artwork on it

 

Something slick about paneled Anglias/Prefects.... tossing a fade into the panel works be slick too.

Not this much paneling...


More like this (echoing the lace mentioned above)

 

I like the gold!

 

I had this model as a kid and always loved the color.

 

My Anglia was a Cadillac, Firethorn Red, and Irmine White. Painted about 1982, in a semi tractor parking lot, gravel feld.
Far as I know (about two years or so back), it still is...

I like the gold also but would feel kinda guilty/copy cat of Ohio’s Gasser. That’s Holy Ground there.

 

The quick ones in my part of the country were red. Really liked those cars.

 

Darker, like British Racing Green or the green available for early (29?) Model A's

 

British Racing green, with a shit ton of big metal flakes.

 

I have Flame Red. ( same color as my Willys) Kirker KS- 51429
I have Candy Apple Red/ with metal flake.( Western / older gallon Ive had for many years.
I have A/C Orange. Acrylic Enamel.
I have several single quarts of various blues / and even a gold.
All are acrylic enamel.
I am a single stage paint person. And I hope I will do a better job and not use clear on this one.
I am looking for that one color or car that really sticks.
Problem with many of the older photos is that they were black and white / hard to tell their true color.
Keep it coming.

 

candy tangerine over gold

 

used to be one at all the shows painted black with a perfect stance and wheels. licence plate said JUS BAD and it was. this was back in the olden days like the early 80's

 

There is at least 5 shades of British Racing....

 

Sorry to...wait, NO...I'm not...sorry to offend you !
You weren't there !

Assuming one could find anyone that knows how to do something like this, how much does a paint job like this cost?
