Green Dream
I have had this thought going through my mind for a while now & would appreciate some opinions please.
I really fancy painting me little motor in an uber bright, day-glow green type of affair. Something really bold & illuminous but have not seen
anything to base this madness on
Has anyone got any piccies or suggestions to point me in the right/bright direction.
Cheers, Rob
I WILL get out again!!
I have a little bit......need more......

seach for flourescent green paint.
and whilst you are at it, have you considered getting your own DNA modified to add the flourescent green gene?

The current (997) Porche 911 GT3 RS comes in quite a shocking flat (not metallic) green. Looks pretty good imho....

I like the thought of a DNA mod! Could get a job at the circus then to try & subsidise the paint job
But i do like that caterham in a sick sort of way.
Mmmmmmmmm.........what to do?
I WILL get out again!!

BRIGHT OR WHAT?
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

For day glow, what you want is a white base with a translucent green top coat. That way, you get a colour equivalent to the dynorod van orange.
Highlighter pens work exactly the same way.

Hi Rob you will be wanting to join the rest of the team. These two are done in the fluorescent orange. But the the paint manufacturer dose most
colours in fluorescent. The only issue is it needs 14 coats of paint. And trying to match the colour exactly after stone chips or race damage is neigh
on impossible.
Cheers Matt
However the cars stand out very well in a crowded track and can not be missed for timing purposes ect.

Hi Matt
Sounds like we need to have a bit of a chat about loads of stuff
Still thinking about getting out for the odd race but need a couple of track days under my belt first Do you reckon my none-up-to-spec motor
will be ok? The paint job is something that i have fancied for ages but OMG 14 coats!! I was only thinking of the rear panel, bonnet, scuttle &
nose cone.
Catch up soon.
Cheers, Rob
I WILL get out again!!
