Another A610 back on the road (nearly)

I bet they look good in the 'spider' liquid yellow

I'm not sure if that is the same as the normal A610 yellow but that is one hell of a special colour for a special car.

I bet they look good in the 'spider' liquid yellow

megane "liquid yellow"

Spider "sport Yellow"

Megane/clio liquid yellow is such a nice colour, I was temped to do my 610 in LY but I was not brave enough!!!

Mind you beaver to get top money when you sell it, you will need to have it in the original colour the car came in!!!!!

Liquid yellow;

Liquid yellow;

beleive it or not.... they are two different colours.... liquid has a gold pearl, sport has a blue pearl, i have seen a spider painted in liquid and it does look slightly different

is that "inflateable yellow"

I thought they were different. The later colour has a much richer pearl effect in the paint!

Would go well with a blown PRV lump on the back of it, maybe that should be your next project Lee!!!!

colour change nearly doubles the respray cost, fancy pearls put £200 extra on top liquid yellow anybody

Although the Clio V6 and Spider colours look a little different, I'd assumed it was the same but reacted differently to the different shapes, as pearlecent colours do.
Thanks for the education..
Anyway, The clio LY colour would look A+ on an A610.

The A610 "evolution" at Macon was in the Clio colour (I think...) looked great...

.... they wouldn't go to the trouble of changing the paint plate......

I know somebody who has done just that

colour change nearly doubles the respray cost.........

Tell me about it......

colour change nearly doubles the respray cost

If the car is already stripped for refurbishment - what is it that would nearly double the cost?

Surely there is less time consuming masking and removing overspray from door shuts etc?

The main thing that puts me off a colour change though is that I hate to see the old body colour come through when you get a scrape.

I've done a couple of colour changes and I've always ended up removing all the original paint - now that is serious work!!!!

The easiest body strip I did was on an old Matra where the base coat and lacquer came off in sheets - almost like it was a vinyl wrap!!!
