thinking of doing the road car this colour

what does everyone reckon, would look good with some white wheels too i reckon

colour code the bumpers and flares
maybe a black bonnet?

i know it's a commodore, but i've put it to it's only good use (colour testing)

It's a really nice colour, & as i had writen in another thread, Datsun coupes look really good in bright red.

I know that it is a brand X colour, but fortunately, it fits any shape car, so if you like it, then go for it.

As for the bumper situation, those other styles were mostly just fads & it's hard to improve on a classic style. Restore the bodyshell, & upgrade the car. It's an unbeatable combination. Well,... thats my view.

It is very close to the colour you have allready,which I like.
They are both great, commodore a bit brighter, Dark red is allways cool.

 Re: This color for my car?? (1200RC)
yeah it looks similar to my avatar picture, but my car is a fair bit darker than it looks in the avatar, and has no shine at all

i think your right about the bonnet ange, i definately want to paint the bumpers, just not sure if i should go black or colour coded

i like updating my car and i reckon chrome bumpers is 70's, black is 80's and coded is 90's, hence im thinking colour coded

 Re: This color for my car?? (1200RC)
shiny black hood,shiny black flares, unsure about bumpers inclined to say stay chrome.
Just my humble opinion.

who knows dattodevil, probably like you had removed the bumpers and smoothed it over a bit, but just look at any late model car and you will see the bumper is pretty much just a buldge in the bodywork

so you don't want to go that modern? it would be an interesting look if done right.
