Sayer 742 Posted February 2, 2011 I've got a Fiat 500 bodyshell on its way but I'm having an issue deciding which color I want to paint it. It's got the HPI MX60 dark chrome wheels fitted. French Blue? Gun Metal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Percymon 2184 Posted February 2, 2011 Of those 2 then it'd have to be french blue to set off the wheels. Most original 500s were white, navy or red. What about an Abarth scheme? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VagabondStarJXF 350 Posted February 2, 2011 I like the Gunmetal. That's just me though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sayer 742 Posted February 2, 2011 I like the Gunmetal. That's just me though. Apparently it's not just you, the two colors are neck and neck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Origineelreclamebord 45 Posted February 2, 2011 I would've chosen Gunmetal... If you had different wheels. You need black, white, gold or a bright colour of wheels to set it off from the gunmetal - dark chrome and gunmetal becomes too flat, hence my choice for the French blue.

taliesin 260 Posted February 3, 2011 Blue. Cheerful car deserves a chipper paint job. Gun metal grey is one of my favorite car colors, but IMO the Fiat 500 just looks better with a bright primary color. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah that's what happened, I was all about trying to make it badass with the gunmetal, then I saw the bright happy blue and was torn. Then, I waffled back and forth and then finally decided to put it to you guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
