i always liked mirtrare's canadian coupe in Alfa neuvo blue (if thats how you spell it?)
very similar to porto, but lighter. I think you could get away with re-spraying a porto in that colour without a full body strip, and it would not be that noticable.

If you are planning to treat the coupe to a re-spray (when funds allow) the i would consider colour choice very carefully. It sounds like you are not planning a full engine removal and body strip? Subtle changes of exterior colour are OK, but a radical change looks odd if under bonnet is not the same IMHO. And it would irritate you I was just going to post the same as bockers. If the job situation and money permits I would like to treat my coupe to a respray one day also. Mine is Steel Grey and with the above in mind if I was going ‘non-standard’ I was thinking of a slightly darker metallic grey. Maybe something between Steel grey and Vinci. Anything too dark would look very strange against the silver under the bonnet and other places which would not receive fresh paint. For yours I think something half way between inky and electric blue. One of my old BMWs was ‘mystic blue’ and that was very nice.

A big fan of the blue above. I would like to see a matt black coupe as well with gloss black wheels There was one a while back, it wasn't as good as you think it would be. i always liked mirtrare's canadian coupe in Alfa neuvo blue (if thats how you spell it?)
very similar to porto, but lighter. I think you could get away with re-spraying a porto in that colour without a full body strip, and it would not be that noticable.
Ninja That would be Tipoboy's coupe

And it would irritate you Your right as usual bockers, it would really bug me if the collars didn't match the cuffs so to speak. One of the colours i was looking at was Mallard Green, used on escort cosworths, it looks like a mix between energy green and ink black but still to far from ink black to get away with. looks like i'll be saving for a bit longer...

Always had a hankering to see a Coupe in pea/lime green.
There's a Tuscan that looks mint (scuse pun) in that colour - so I think I'd like it on any car.

I had Mallard Green on my Fiesta and yes, you can definately see the green in it. I was never keen on the colour Was that Tourmallard Green ifso i had an escort in it and it looked mainly black except in bright light and certain angles as it was also a peralescent paint, i thought it was lovely but you would not get away with it next to an inky colour i dont think anyway
