    Color combination

    So…..finally narrowed it down between black and Lexus Nautical blue with the white strips. However, the side pipes are black as the roll bar. Does anyone have that specific color combinations? Also, has anyone painted the roll bar white rather than chrome? I remember seeing a photo of one but can’t seem to locate it.

    No pics but black bars and pipes would work just fine with either combination. White bars not so much, at least in my opinion.

    Some of the original Cobras had white roll bars and white sidepipes.

    Does no-one have any inspiration? Do something different?

    Food for thought dark colors are very hard to maintain and magnify the slightest of imperfections in bodywork. Also the lightest of marks stand out like a neon light. But to each your own paint it how you like it and enjoy it.

    I wanted something a little different so I went with new Ford colors.
    Dark Matter Gray Metallic, Iconic Silver Metallic, and a touch of Lucid Red.
