Black is the new red......

anyone that's seen my turbo knows it isn't excatly concours. Especially the roof, which has a load of familiar fibreglass blisters. Really needs a repair and repaint... and I was thinking of making it black... So rather than blow £200 on proper repair and paint and find I hate the colour, I spent £6 and bought some satin black paint...

Half an hour later

I'm posting this now so I don't get any apologetic commments come the weekend at Prescott.... I know the roof's bad, now its black and bad....Still has the blisters, but I sort of like it.

Haven't seen it in daylight mind!

Paint it black, in the dark . Always wise to be a bit pished as well

God.... were you watching? How the hell did you know.


I'm hoping it won't be quite so blotchy in the morning!

How very Ford Capri....

Rupert, would it look any better if it was wall papered?

I like the matt/satin black look, but I hear it's a bu99er to keep clean.....

Well here it is.... soft focus to hide the poor finish....!

hmmmmm can't make pictures work......

There we go....

Putting the Gotti's on tomorrow....

I like it as well, I'm thinking of a respray for mine eventually in Black. You don't see many Black ones and it was a no cost colour option as well wasn't it?

I think it looks pretty good too. (From a distance! )

Looking in my July '87 sales brochure, you had a colour choice of 'Supergloss Red' or 'Supergloss Black'. 'Supergloss Metallic Silver' , 'Supergloss Pearl White', 'Supergloss Metallic Titian Red' and 'Supergloss Metallic Stratos Blue' were the optional colours.
