Dino Restoration #2

Jon,
I vote Viola. the 430 is very,very conservative. The Porshe is In Your Face Green, the GTS Dino is a very lovely blue, a GT Dino in Viola will stop traffic. A perfect quartet.

Purple cars are a little out there. Your blue one is a good, strong, vibrant color. It would clash with the viola in the garage. I vote for Ferro or Azurra, but I think a good, deep metallic grey, perhaps with tan/crema upholstery would be mindbogglingly beautiful. If I ever paint my Dino, that's what it will be!

 

I think the Viola would look great with a tan interior.

Then again I also like that Prugna 308.

The Azzurro would be very nice with a red interior.

 

Yes! Another one! I vote Azzurro Metallizato.

 

I vote.....grigio!

 

Then it would be very appropriate. I vote Viola, with the French lighting that you used in the GTS.

The purple is growing on me. The first Dino I ever saw was purple... In San Diego (Encinitas) coincidentally.... Back in the 70s baby!

 

Luke: I don't know. I feel like... Viola Metallizato 106-A-71

Darth Vader: If you only knew the power of the Dark Side. Search your feelings, you know it to be true!

 

is black the original colour?

i like original

 

All 3 options are nice on a 246.
- Viola looks like "I am from the 70ties" and the Dino can wear such a cry. (no way on a F360)
- Under regular conditions Azzuro would be my first choice. Here I vote for Viola. (like Pininfarina for the prototipo)
- Consider Grigio / Silver for understatement cars. On a little fancy V6 you can dare more flashy colours - like Viola!

my 3 cents

cinque

 

Jon your paint shop has to pay attention to the colors. All 3 are "modern" metallic colors which means in my mind, that the metallic parts in it are to big. In former times you didn't see these parts, they were very small. Esp. Azzurro is souch a color. We did a lot of testing with two color manufacturers to find out the correct mix.

 

grigio.

I just can't wrap myself around that purple. the lighter colors don't accent the curves of the car enough, at least the ones I've seen.

I also agree that you want less metal in the paint. The newer finishes has much more flake than the metallics from the 70's.

In all honesty, I think there are other colors that you have posted on the Dino colors thread that you should have sprayed onto your sample molds. I'd really love to see you consider Rosso Rubino Metallizato. I think that color or Rosso Fiorano would be stunning. I know a lot of people get sick of the rosso/tan combination, but on a car that would be as well rebuilt as your first Dino, I think one of those colors would be beautiful.

 

viola and cream interior is my vote

 

Which yellow?

 

azzurro with black....understated, but VERY classy!

 

Not that bad

 

What's about Nocciola or Marrone?
