that pepper white is a good base (start) but it needs a bit more yellow-ish/ cream to it....does that make sense?

That pic doesnt do it justice. Here it is next to a white car. It is pretty yellow, but maybe more yellow?



yellow cream?

[fyneyoungstunna]

ahhh, next to a white car it looks better. im digging it.

are those your Mini's? i want one soooo bad.

i guess i have a white in my head, but its getting lost in translation. that mini is the closest so far. I want to call the color im seeing classic white but when i google it its just a white with less of a clear coat.

Its going on an 80's car so i dont want a lot of shine but i want it to be crisp. Vanilla bean icecream is almost the exact color. ill be using a bright-ish orange as the accent color and baby blue bee-stings (do they still call them that?).

[Tanuki]

^yes they are mine. Well I sold the Pepper White one to fund my 240 build and I bought a classic Morris Mini.

Anyway, I think that Pepper White is the color you are looking for. It is vanilla Ice Cream color. I got tons of comments on it everywhere I went.

One more pic of it:

Nice, aye, the colours always different in every light. Tried it out on a mates interior parts first off for a quick test and it looks totally different out in the daylight, mines not seen the light yet. I've just done the whole interior of the car in MJ yesterday and I've got something else lined up for the cage after the weekend.
The exterior is a custom colour I've come up with but that won't be for a few months, want it out on track and dialled in before I paint it incase I bash it up straight away. :P

[fyneyoungstunna]

you sir(Tanuki) might just be right. that might just be what im looking for. Ill go to the mini dealer tomorrow after work and confirm it!!

I would love to find a morris! Is it as roomy as the new minis?
also I have a handfull of clients that are from where you live.

[fyneyoungstunna]

[fckillerbee]

are these not the correct skirts for your car? they look REALLY funny.

but overall....really fucking sweet car. 18's all around?

[fyneyoungstunna]

Hahaha you guys are making it hard to choose with the off whites. When I get to the pc I'll do a side by side with pepper white and almond to choose.


Any answers on the ferrari?
