Now, personally, I like a Cobra that is subdued in color, just for the simple fact that it is already one of the most recognizable cars on the road. Painting it ORANGE, IMO, is an injustice to the car itself - It is already highly noticable by it's reputation, painting it orange is just a slap in the face, screaming, "Look at me, I'M ORANGE !!"

I let my sidepipes do the screaming...If you had bothered to look at my photo gallery, you would have seen my color of choice. It's the color that won Le Mans...

Looked at your gallery and it looks like your car has some kind of pearl or metalic flake in it to give a high shine. It is a nice color but kind of looks purple/pinkish to me. Maybe it is just the picutre or the light. Not really subdued with all the stickers down the side of it. Someone might recgonize you as a billboard.

If you want your pipes to do the screaming you must have a turbo charged 4 cyclinder under that bonnet. Most Cobras have engines that kind of rumble and growl.

A toast to your color choice. I'll paint mine how I choose. If I choose orange I will try not to run into the law who may arrest me for carrying out an injustice to a replica.
