My Defender 90 colour and possible change of
Hi my Defender 90, is currently sprayed orange and black with rattle cans. I have been given a very good price for a full respray in Corrie grey with a nice gloss black roof. She's an old Defender but I have done so much work on her you could eat your tea off the chassis, so hopefully you get the vibe that I have invested quite a bit and probably not get much back when and if I ever sell. Question is Orange or Corrie grey and have you ever had your truck resprayed and regretted it or vice Versa. As usual any advice welcome from your experiences

Do it. Corris Grey with black roof is the best combo, IMHO. But then I would say that: Whistle

I think your fear of resale value may be unfounded as you should sell more easily, and perhaps for more, as a Corris Grey than a spray-can, spray-tan colour. Monsieur Le Grenadier

I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list.....

who are you painting it for? if you're considering selling, then the standard colours (e.g. the grey with black roof) have wider appeal and so you're likely to get what you want more quickly.

If it's for you, and resale is not too much of an option at the moment, then do ti whatever colour you like best. Orange is fine. If the prep is done well and its painted well, then the finish is great. It's almost all in the prep.....

My 110 SW is grey with black roof. Looks very smart.
However, if that deep red colour had been available, I'd have gone for that instead. Never understood why they stopped doing it.

Corris is a lovely colour, but is quite common, so purely personal preference....
