owelly Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 I have two matching plastic cars. One is red, the other is white. Do I paint the red one white or the white one red? They need to match to save on road tax/MoT etc........ Then when I get my sheddy stickerers, they'll look soooooo fine 😬 savin up to be eccentric. but for now, i'll just be stupid...

Mrs Mav Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 i fink they should both be RED ❗ Viv for sure it is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossybee Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 What spare paint have you got in the garage? A nice pair of magnolia / natural hessian / pistachio / seafrost / belle of the ball motors sounds quite intruiging Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meldrew Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Does this mean you own two Magentas, Owelly? That must qualify as some sort of an archive. I think you should keep them in original condition for posterity, old boy. You are the custodian of a legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossybee Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 or you could paint them both magenta... oh, the irony ❗ Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owelly Posted May 21, 2004 Author Share Posted May 21, 2004 Last week there was three of the flippin things in my garage! What colour is magenta? (The colour magenta, not the car, Magenta) I'm colour blind so it dunt really matter to me, but I like the idea of two magenta Magentas The only paint I could find in the garage was a couple of litres of pink (from Mr Jacksons motorbike!) Some metallic black (from Tiny Trevs motorbike) Some purple (from my ?????????? Can't remember). Some metalflake orange( 🤔 🤔) Some yellow, green, red and DSB. I'm assuming they have in the tins, the same as I've written on the tins because I'm still colour blind. Hmm. Magenta Magentas.

Meldrew Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Magenta is a nasty purply-pinky-reddy colour. Sounds like you could mix it from what you've got there. Pure sacrilege, though. 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossybee Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 The only paint I could find in the garage I think ONLY is an understatement ❗ That's more than B&Q stock!!! Why don't you mix the whole sheee-bang together, spray both in the new-found hue (which you wont know cos you're colourblind) and stand back & admire, rubbing your chin satisfactorily (optional) Then, and only then, if anyone asks what colour your brace of Magentas are, you just reply proudly: OWELLY!

owelly Posted May 21, 2004 Author Share Posted May 21, 2004 Cheers Rossybee. That sounds like a spiffing plan There are plenty more tins of paint in the garage but I havn't labelled them so they could be anything. Soup/beans possibly Now where can I get some vinyl or leathercloth stuff to recover my seats 🤔 And what do I do with the spidery cracks in the gel coat 🤔 savin up to be eccentric. but for now, i'll just be stupid...

rossybee Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 oooh! soup & beans would give some character to the texture 😬 PLUS hide/fill the spiders in the gelcoat (remember, I owned a TVR for 5 years) Job done. NEXT! Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hibster. Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Dear Auntie Rossssssssss Do you think I could do the same by painting my Seven and my landie and saying that both of them are one and the same ? Confused of Hitchin Supercheese R250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
