Hello guys,
I have just bought myself a series 2a as a big restoration!
I am COMPLETELY stripping it down to a pile of its component pieces, cleaning them and then putting it back together with much more added to it.
I just wanted some advice on what colour to paint it, the three that i'm struggling to chose between are: Black, Green or white.

(Bare in mind this wont be a stock 2a it will be lifted with flared wheel arches, roll bar, bull bar and nobblies and a 200tdi so i thought it deserved a fitting paint job)

Throw some colours and pictures at me guys i'm so stuck which to go for?!?!!

I have a black car...big mistake, never looks clean. Silver is nice and looks clean all the time. Blue or green are nice Landy colours though. I painted an ex RAF lightweight olive green matt finish..looked good.

Limestone. Looks fab with black bits like a rag top, or wingtop protectors.

mine is usually mud but the one time every two years when it's too dirty and it gets a fresh coat of paint atop of that
