What colour makes the sexiest GTO?

kodos · Post by **kodos** » Fri Dec 11, 2009 1:21 am

Just a bit torn between my favorite GTO paint schemes. Since I'm bored and its late, I thought I'd make a topic out of it.
So which do you guys like the best?

Don't they come in a dark seaweed green type colour? I don't mind that on them even thought the colour itself is crap.

Metalic olive green? eeek
Yes GTO's were released in other colours, white, pale yellow, pale blue etc
But these four are my favorite, the others are definately un-sexy colours

Turns out the one I was thinking of was metallic brown. The green one was a sketch.
Orange aint bad

I dont believe these were option colours on the A53C. Can post the list if you want.
I still think these four are the sexiest colours, just cant decide which I like best.
Definately the green and orange suit the period, very muscle car type colours

I like the orange the most but there has always been something about coltspeed's gto that i really liked.

tandanus · Post by **tandanus** » Fri Dec 11, 2009 2:51 pm

^^^ Yeah, that's classy ^^^
But not original. Which original colours are still available Kodos ?

Aso Red is pretty good but is only a factory colour for A57C

I really like the look of this A53C

Coltspeed's GTO looked even better in person. If I remember correctly the colour was off a motorbike.

kodos · Post by **kodos** » Sat Dec 12, 2009 9:05 pm

That looks like an a57c to me.

I checked and additional A53c colours are piss yellow, white, olive green, sky blue, and yes even red. (I'm not interested in red)
Apparently the MR only came out in white, orange, lime green, metalic blue and olive green. I havent seen any plive green mrs tho and have seen silver ones so am not sure.
Not sure how many are still available but I'm sure a paint shop can whip up something close

I like it in the green. Reminds me of the old mopar mucle cars.

Kodos, It might be A57C given the grill and the badge, but the colour, strip and side vents are A53C.

You might want to change the thread title to "What factory colour to paint Kodos's A53C GTO"

kodos · Post by **kodos** » Sun Dec 13, 2009 11:24 am

True

It was originally just about those four colours in the poll though. Surprised green is up there in the polling. I love it but didnt think it would go as weel against the other three

Post by **75wagon** » Sun Dec 13, 2009 2:14 pm

Mate, the way I see it is this.
The colours people pick are what they would do it given the choice. So given that, I would do it silver just to do something different from what everyone expects....

kodos · Post by **kodos** » Sun Dec 13, 2009 3:28 pm

Well i like all four of them, for different reasons.
I was bored and though I'd see what you guys thoughts were on these colours. It's not about my car at all, I know what colour it is already

Post by **75wagon** » Sun Dec 13, 2009 4:48 pm

OK then. If it's just for something to talk about.
If I was doing one, I'd go Black (or a dark metallic grey) with the factory stripes in silver with Konig Rewinds in 16x7inches.

Not original, but I wouldn't care..... I wouldn't change any of the original body lines (flaring guards and things). Of course the wheels would have to change if they didn't fit in the guards.

Yeah, I love gun metal grey, looks awesome on old schoolers. Always wanted to do a GA or a GB in that colour, or even a datto 1600

However I dont think I could bring myself to go non factory on a goat. Especially with these to choose from. But yeah, thats just me
