Colour ordered or decided upon Australia + NZ

[Michael H.]

from white - to mushroom - to white

One more change of mind and you’ll be spot on.

Scottish white ... specified "on purpose" based on 'function >form" considerations -subtropical climate.
(I'm practising for the inevitable marketing "Jargon Bingo" competition -the more IA advert words you use, the higher the quality of the leather binding on the Owner Handbook )

Brittania Blue...

... influenced no doubt by misplaced nostalgia for the Old Country . Or is it for the New...?

10 years in a white defender, so i'm done with that. A white grenadier/ black jewellery looks great, but is bordering on parody. Intellectually untenable, I say!

I will be getting a clear wrap once the paint has cured

You're expecting to have to wait for the paint to cure...?

White, as solid colours last far longer than clear over base ( metallic ), Scottish white is not really white, cooler in summer, safer ( better night visibility ), and cheaper so I could get more accessories.

They recommend 3 months before wrapping

 

[Wayneos]

I will be getting a clear wrap once the paint has cured, at least down the sides - and thinking maybe a colour wrap on the rear door (maybe Scottish white!)

I was thinking of a coloured wrap for the rear door as well, to match the white roof!

Scottish white. To keep it simple and light colours work better in the summer heat. But if they had a pastel yellow or Eldoret blue was a few shades lighter I would have been sorely tempted. Used the $ saving to get other accessories.

Is it weird to want the Eldoret because it'll look good faded after a decade or so?

 

[DaBull]

Hi Mgohillbilly, I am also giving Eldoret Blue serious consideration, (with a black roof), as it already appears to be
somewhat faded and a classic color now and into the future. The black rails and black accents on the vehicle
contrast nicely against the Eldoret Blue. DaBull

Mushroom, because in theory it should hide the scratches well, be a good “dust colour” as my Dad used to say, and look great. Only problem with my choice … I still haven’t seen one as yet.

Here's why I’m not going with my second choice, which would have been Donny Grey. This is my current vehicle …

I, like @Michael H. have the same coloured vehicle and like Michael HATE the way dark coloured cars show scratches. For me it's MM. In fact, my 200 series is now in the panel shop having $7k spent on it getting all the 4x4ing taken out of the body

I spoke to the local panel shop today, he said it shouldn't need "curing" (his words) as it is already possibly 2-3 months old when you receive it

Good to know! I ordered the scrub bars, so maybe will only need to do the doors.

Scottish white for cool and red chassis for bling.

I tell you what - I may very well have done so if I was allowed to - especially after seeing all that Scottish Highlands tour video!
