should i bore u with another build thread?

[DubSteve]

Your right that pistachio is a sick colour will look pretty heavy against the black of the engine will define it definately!

Can't wait to see the end mate your car will make alot of VR look like 2.slows lol.

[MattyT]

What colour code is the pistachio? I wonder if its the same green as mine...

It's definitely supposed to be the same colour as yours, Matty T.
The VR6 colour concept cars were pistachio green, ginster yellow, tornado red, chagall blue and I've seen some black ones too.

Harlequin paint and codes:

- Ginster Yellow - L132
- Tornado Red - LY3D/G2
- Pistachio Green - LD6D
- Chagall Blue - LD5D

The Harlequin colours are different to the Colour Concepts I'm pretty sure, minus the pistachio green and tornado red. The Colour Concept blue was a Jazz Blue? And the yellow Colour Concept is definitely not Ginster - the Ginster Yellow is very vibrant, and the Colour Concept yellow is definitely a lot more paler in comparison.

Took me ages to read all through it, but dam was it worth it.

Awesome build mate and good luck with it.

Yeah Ray, come to think of it, the yellow is a lot more custard like.
Don't want to dilute this thread with my 'conjecture' - there's probably a thread out there that would clear it up : )

pete pm'd

and i'm just the rattle can king with the small parts like the headlights and other touches! My mate is doing the spray gun, but even still he aint no painter either, this is like the 3rd thing he's done he's definately still learning and doing a great job with it! So yeh, I guess I might as well be doing it

Does anyone have this Chagall blue here in aus? it's quite pupley?? both the cans I had made and the tins that my mate had made up are the same tint so it's gotta be right??

[Lorenz]

Wow thats looking amazing already Alex, brilliant colours and they do work so well together. Cant wait to see the finished product.

Headlights look rad too, nice idea!

These guys are Melbourne based. I'm not 100% sure, but I think they'll make you a bonnet. They might not be interested in one-offs, but they'd be worth a try.

[Golf Loon]

Looking Horn Man.

I love the headlight.

That Pistacio Green is a great colour, I`d love to paint a car that colour.

Keep the updates coming, good to see you doing it yourself.
