  • Mitsubishi Lancer Paints/Coats Thread. Suggestions solicited.

    Hi guys. I’m painted in a dilemma.

    I wanted to do up my Lancer SFXi (Yellow)
    It has quite a lot of dents and scratches now
    and I deem fit for a repaint.

    Since there are a lot of threads on individuals
    (@Torqued, @regnex, @pramodkumar, @mikalyil, @Ripper)
    re-painting/ re-doing their lancers, I thought
    it would be helpful if we could have data and
    inputs at one place.

    I was very keen on red, butttt, I have a problem
    now as many people including me like the OEM Yellow
    called Yellow (Aussie) by Mitsubishi, as per this thread:
    http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/indian…ar-colour.html

    So I asked my folks at home once again and they
    thought yellow (aussie) was a taxi color and most of them
    had a facination for red.

    However since red sedans were running through my mind
    all week, I observed the beautiful red shade on all
    Hyundai cars. Be it the Santro, Getz, Verna or the
    Accent Viva. Their red stands apart from the standard.

    I was wondering how would that Hyundai red look on a
    Lancer ? I talked to a Mod expert here and he said
    it would not look very good. But I’ve seen Vernas and
    Accents look pretty good and the bright color stands
    out from the other reds, even Swift in a red.

    Please help me with this one as I have only one
    day before I hand it over to the paint professionals.
    I have uploaded some snaps, so that one can get a feel
    of how the colors are and look on the Lancer.
    I have not masked the plates as these are all over the net.

    Kindly advise.

    Warm Regards,
    Pervez.
