just started work on my new ride for those of you who dont know, its a 1989 ford courier ute,

just finished stripping it and about to send it to the painters, only probablem is a cant decide on the colour

anyone got any ideas, the only thing i can think of is dark purple with pink pearl,

i want it to stand out, its goin to be a bit of a quick one once the motor is put in

Hmm interesting choice of car to restore lol. For colour choice I would say either a Dark Orange with a yellow pearl, or Black with a purple pearl. Possibly even an Electric Blue, with a light blue metallic flek through it. Just a few suggestions.

paint it black with a purple pearl thru it.. get chrome bumpers, grilles and side mirrors, and anything else metal thats visible - get chrome plated.. lower it with 22's and a limo tint..

hahah before you no it, you'll want to bag the suspension, fit the tank into the tray and hit switches all day long.

had bags in my hilux, not really after them again,

the motors im lookin at is a series 6 13b turbo or a sr20det, the sr20 is cruently making about 400bhp in a 200sx so it should be fun in the ute, however im gonna have 2 wait to do the motor as im planing to get the boday and interior finished first then play with the suspension and and performance

how about a deep (not bright!) non-metallic red. Like that available on Alfa romeos.

Would suit a ute. Would have the "could have come in this colour" look.
Would also mean you could probably get away with non-painted front bumper.

my nephew kept saying red, but he was wearing a wiggles shirt and pants and shoes, dont know i can trust his decision, but its a thought,

my painters bro sugested a dark metalic green similar to the lid of a brut can, that way i dont have to get rid of the brown interiour in such a hurry
