What Color Elio Are You Getting?

[Rickb]

Torn between White & Orange........so I may have to compromise with some rendition of this '56 Ford's two-tone paint...............with Indian Fenders, Moon Hub Caps, and Whitewall Tires. I would like to get some Chrome on the Elio too! My Retro-Elio. Marshmallow & Creamsicle are not colors.............they are junk foods.

My only reason to go with either of those is to have a suitable base to paint over if a yellow option isn't available....

You bring up a very good point. I know there have been several that have asked if they could just get their Elio in "primer", and immediately doing a custom paint job. When (In most cases) the factory paint makes an excellent "base" for a color change. Probably save some time and money, too.

Awesome! I would probably get the factory orange (base) & and have "antique white" with a touch of "orange tint" added by my painter. Or maybe "orange pearl" sprayed over the "antique white" and the factory orange. SOOO many possibilities, tho. I love the "retro look!"

I like the teal/white. Need to have 57 Chevy. trim airbrushed on the side and with these fenders.

Antique White, Frost White........Orange Pearl.....those are color names! I agree on the factory orange base.......and so many creatively fun possibilities.

I like Teal/White too........reminds me of the teal or aqua/white Harleys! Sweet color combo! also on the classic 55 Ford Fairlane and T-Birds. Now I'm confused on color.............Thanks a lot Wayne! Wait a minute........my wife says one of each color!

Nice work! Like the open fenders. Can we see that in Pearl Orange & Antique White?
