A Real Mera in Paradise (Page 63/713)

I saw an episode of "I Chase Classic Cars" where the star was showing at Concorso Italia in a category "Giallo Modena" There were F-cars and Maseratis all dressed up in yellow--very, very cool!

Paint your XK-140MC BRG.

I think that POR 15 was used here but will have to go back and check the records when I get back home. The restorations are starting to run together in my mind right now.

I like the green, but I have not see many green Ferrari's. The Fly yellow would look good too. How about having the Cromodora's powder coated in the magnesium gold color of the '"Scuderia" racing Ferrari's That color wheel would look good with either paint color and tie into the beechwood interior also.

What kind of paint did you use for the engine compartment on the 3800 car? I want to detail mine and I like the low gloss finish.

Does anyone want to help me choose the exterior color of the last MERA that I have for restoration? It will have a Beechwood interior and I am thinking about either a British Racing Green or a Fly Yellow color. Right now I am leaning towards the BRG color. What other colors might also look good with this car?

i would vote to keep the documented Mera's their stock color,
in my opinion.
but, on the same subject, if your thinking of a more modern color, try Metallics.
thats where i am at with my need for a new color.
if i find some examples i will post them here.

I would like to see more of that car. How did he treat the top, is it red or black? Is the hood all red?

Dan,

That looks like your carport--are you pulling something?

no, this is a photoshop, edited photo of the future MERA X.
the hood will stay red as well as the rear decklid and top.
sorry for any unintended dupe.
