A Bit Of Colour.

Whilst I was busy putting the chassis components together the body was sent off to the painters. I built an AK Cobra some years ago and I have also restored a 1969 - Austin Cooper S 1275, on both occasions I used a local guy who I feel does an excellent job. He works by himself in a small lock up garage on the outskirts of Leeds. His premises are not totally dust proof, neither does he have a clinically clean paint booth, but in my opinion his work is “second to none” and prices are very competitive. Any body restoration you require then he’s your man.
What colour should I choose? Well this was a painstaking decision, do I paint in Gun Metal grey, Metallic blue or Red? I’d seen the car in all these colours and they all look stunning, however the colour that always stood out to me was the Gulf Powder blue and orange. I can hear you say “O’ no not another Gulf car”. Well I’m afraid so, what a superb pair of colours that compliment the curvaceous of the GT40. In addition I also decided to have the car marked with the same decals as chassis 1076. These I purchased from I Say Ding Dong Decals.
