At first I thought black would be it for me...then I thought some more and blue started sounding pretty good. After a few days of blue I thought that blue with white stripes would be the ticket. Then I though, no, black is definitely it. After a few more days I saw an absolutely fantastic blue that was me. About a week after that I saw a red Cobra that was absolutely fantastic! Then I saw a really subdued blue that took my breath away...so understated! Another few days went by and I thought that maybe I should just stick with one of the original colors and Rangoon Red was it!! Then I spoke to Peter at ERA who told me that Rangoon Red was a really horrible color and that most people who paint their cars that color repaint them something else in a short time. So then I thought black was looking pretty good. Then my buddy got his ERA and painted it black. Damn. Blue was it then.

After doing this for the 4 months that I waited for my car I was no closer to choosing. The car arrived and I took it to the bodyshop to get painted and the painter asked me what color I wanted.

I told him I couldn't decide and that I was going to leave that up to him. I meant it and left.

He painted it Ferrari Red with no stripes - I liked it. See gallery.

My Kirkham is a different story - I am not going through that bs again. I am not painting it.
