Chris K already made a go at replicating Frenchs one and tbh still doesnt look as nice! What about a decent red or something out of the ordinary

@ paddy mcgrath.........thats more like it. What about the obvious Gialla yellow, it`s got way more depth than the honda/nissan yellows.

wasnt trying to replicate frenchs one at all when i was picking a colour never looked at his.was parked next to his at heatwave the colours are a fair bit different in person.this is the car that inspired me to paint it yellow.

The illiuminous green that ud get on a hi-vase jacket would be a mad colour ha. Would love to spray a drift car that colour.

a chap that lives near me used to have a company van in hi-vis green a while back. looked a bit mad alright but went to shite after a while with the sun and washing it.
turned white in bit patches

Your fucked then when u have to paint bumpers or whatever after trying to change the colour.
The evo yellow is a very nice yellow id see nothing wrong with it.

From what i can remember Dean's old yellow was a dull enough colour.......
Maybe i just saw it on a bad day.
