Colour scheme for my Oval..........your help please??

Right then you lot, i am struggling what to do wiv my Oval in regards to colour.

At the mo she is Beryl Green, which is NOT her og colour,the og colour i believe was erm ..cough..splutter....puke.......biege.

I am thinkin of going OLD school with the colour,but i is struggling, all i seem to like at the mo is chocolate brown.
Now i would like to go matt or satin black,but that has been done to death,so i want summin different.

This is where YOU come in...........help me pick the colour....

a SENSIBLE colour (not like fahookin pink or purple)
and old school ie from the 50's early 60's
or keep her Beryl Green

have a think and let me know whats your colour

here is her in the Beryl Green

i had chocy browm in my head too

Ooooooooooooooooooooooops o forgot about your colour scheme Betsy
Just not for me tho *puts on deep manly voice* pink is more for ladies (did i manage to dig my way out???? )

im not sure what the OG colours were Toast i will try n find out

But i DO like the idea of the satin brown
i will see what other ideas appear,if any.

Mine is a rather homosexual car tbh, and the colour really didn't sell it to me! However the paint work is too good for me to justify a respray just yet!

Maybe in the future

Phe eeeeeew...wipes brow

Yeh im gonna struggle with the re-spray as i dont have any where to do it!!!!
So i may go same way Dickie did his van ie the roller etc.
Next year me n the wife are lookin at moving house, so thankfully cos the wife is into dubs aswell she is letting me look for a place that has either an old barn or outbuilding that i can convert into a workshop area AND spray booth
Then that way i can do my own re=sprays and hopefully NOT have building fall on my van again

Sounds like a plan! You can spray mine too

Matt brown is lush mate but i think yours needs to be back in a glossy paint.
I think the green looks ace,ive always liked beryl green or mango green on ovals.
Im not really sure on the matt for yours thats all..would look really nice in the brown though..oh i dont know now

Look on the samba for colour charts Gladys
This will tell you all you need to know

I thought you wanted to paint it in satin or matt earlier
Also,there are a few ovals and split bugs being done in brown lately,just in case you wanted to be a bit different

how about this colour?

i think it looks f0ok!ng ace

my vote is for strait brown
