favorite colors
A recent post about a brown car for sale in (I think) Oregon got some replies about the color not being very popular. Got me thinking - I definately prefer the spider in certain colors. was wondering what other peoples favorite and least favorite colors
are. If I had a time machine and could order a new one, It would be a tough choice between cream or black. I could also be very happy with brown or that blue(recent post about a newly painted one and I think Craig has it). the colors that don't do it for me are white, navy blue, and yes red. What about you?

Re: favorite colors
I'll agree with you on not liking white - I've never been a fan of any model car in white. For the Spider, my favorites are the blue that Craig has, silver and red (of course I'm biased since mine is red).

Re: favorite colors
Here are some of my favorites. As I have said, the ORIGINAL brown of the Spider is a bronze color that is very nice. Goes perfectly with the beige interior and top. Also, DEEP red with a black top is great. There is a color called smoke gray that is actually a greenish tint that is awesome. Another favorite is this pale blue. Also, you might not think so but Silver and Beige look good.
Re: favorite colors
great pics. that smoke gray is really nice, and c'mon how can anyone not like that bronze\brown. simply beautiful. makes me wish I could have an assortment of spiders in my favorite colors - at least a different one for each day of the week

Re: favorite colors
I think the brown is pretty too. I'm kinda partial to the burgandy and orange:

Re: favorite colors
I really like the blue(Ardesia Mettalica) that mine is painted,and get a lot of comments on it.If I was going to repaint another color...I love the Cream(Bernies car) and I saw one in Ferrrari Fly Yellow that was awesome!!

Re: favorite colors
i have to say, i really like the yellow mine is painted. the paint isn't in the best of shape(some fading on the hood and some rust poking through randomly) but it does look pretty nice if i say so myself
Re: favorite colors
Thats a freakin good question, as I must finally decide in a few weeks. AND it is driving me CRAZY!
Re: favorite colors
Dave, don't stress over it, you can never go wrong restoring to the factory original color - unless it was redracydave wrote:Thats a freakin good question, as I must finally decide in a few weeks. AND it is driving me CRAZY!
