My 90 is white and I’m thinking of changing the colour. I’ve got the front end off at the moment and going to rub down and prime the wings and bonnet, inside and out before refitting. The roof might be coming off soon too and I’m rebuilding the doors. So this is the time to do it. I don’t want shiny or bling colours. I thought about Raptor but ruled that out, but I’m thinking something darker and durable !! Any suggestions or photos to share to help my decision making would be appreciated.

I painted mine using Rust-Oleum CombiColor, worked pretty well. It's cheap and can be applied with roller or brush.
It's fairly popular with lots of guides/videos using it on campervans, minis , etc ..

Forgot to add, as it's enamel it isn't as durable as raptor. But its easy to repair and paint over.

I love these colours, look great in my opinion and hide the scratches well

Psst. Go rainbow dear. No seriously how about unique, all panels different colours.

I like that and it looks very similar to @turrican ‘sThanks and that’s gave me an idea how to proceed. Would you say that’s a mat grey ??

Something similar, i think that colour combination really makes the 90s stand out. Its a rugged man look, bit like yourself

I would respond appropriately, but we’re not on AG

I’m going to my local Spray Store soon and ask what they have in this colour in Matt.

I do like the grey and black

Grey is a good colour, looks good even when dirty.
Black will make the tin box a sweat box.

But slightly warmer in winter when the sun is out

I’m priming with etch primer with a high build primer on that. Both grey. Grey top coat on that by the looks of it. Grey on grey on grey. What’s to go wrong
