Nay. Maybe I'm the only one that has weird thoughts like this but keep red and Czech fire service replica.

 

 

Or police (although Google suggests they were mostly estates)

 

 

Edit: Of course as others have said it's your car so do whatever you want.

[bub2006]

Do what you want bud. Your car and all. Some folk may bitch over what you do but who cares. My car has a nato wing,a paint free wing and door and a black bonnet and boot. The car needed a respray anyway but its not worth it yet so thought id have a laugh and a pisstake in the meantime.

[vaughant]

Pink should get back to red if it's not too far gone (or originally pink of course).

 

NATO stuff looks gash on any car other than army related, same with gopping matte black cars, totally rings them in my eyes.

 

But that's the point, in MY eyes, it's your car, do what makes you feel good about it, or opinions don't mean squat.

[vaughant]

So DEFFO NO from me.

[dollywobbler]

Raspberry FTW. Sorry.

[Coprolalia]

Noooo.

Not our choice though.

[nebuchenezer]

Want?

 

Do.

 

Bollox to what anyone else thinks

[Asimo]

Vinyl wrap - what you want your car to look like AND heritage pink is preserved for posterity.

[richardthestag]

NATO it if you want to, your car etc

 

I wouldnt, rather rock that pink

[oldcars]

What's a NATO?

[sporty-shite]

Up to you, really. Although after seeing the Czech fire service replica, I'd say do that. You can NATO anything!

[Jim Bell]

What's a NATO?

North American Trade Organisation or summat isnt it?

 

Also a shade of green similar to Olive Drab that vehicles and equipment are sometimes painted.

 

Scenebois are edgybones.

[scaryoldcortina]

I have most of a tin of camel trophy sandglo here if you want to OLLI  it instead...

[alcyonecorporation]

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[NorfolkNWeigh]

As others have said, your car, your choice.

But...

I'm sure there must be statistics for the life expectancy of cars that have had matte paint of any hue applied, scrapped by the next ticket sounds about right.

( does not apply in Scotland)

[martc]

You could turn it into a Skoda 'Tortoise'.

Looking forward to this...

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Don't fuck it up man, just drive it.

[castros_bro]

Pink Camo ?

 

 

[eddyramrod]

NATO green?  I wouldn't, but as so many have said, it's your choice, what we think means diddly.  I think even I, Mr Avoid-Polishing, would be out right now buying a tin of Colour Cut and trying to rescue the red.

[bub2006]

 

Looking forward to this...

 

I need a roller! As for comment about usually getting scrapped by next ticket,my avensis is rough in top but underneath,structurally and mechanically sound. It was covered in dings and scrapes. I wouldnt dream of painting a car olive or nato if it was in fine fettle before hand but mine isnt so why not. End of day do what pleases you!

[mk2_craig]

Always seemed like spending money to devalue a vehicle to me. Although to be fair its probably at rock bottom in terms of resale already. Other thing is, does it then become more distinctive to the wrong sort of person?

[bub2006]

It will cost around 25 quid to completely paint with a roller if felt inclined. Bonus is its easy to touch up. Not devaluing cars if they already worth knack all and need work on the aesthetics anyway. But im odd anyway

[Yoss]

You can't devalue a Felicia.

 

On the NATO thing, don't they do a desert sand version. Might be more appropriate as that was genuine* Skoda colour for most of the 70s and 80s.

 

*They probably didn't call it that and it may have been shinier at least for a while but still...

 

By the way, I wouldn't. If I was going to mess about with it I'd go for some sort of rally car look. They look great as rally cars.

[chaseracer]

But im odd anyway

 

Never was a truer word spoken... 

[bub2006]

Get shafted with a broken bottle marsden

[plasticvandan]

Desert sand= army beige= autoshite

[Dick Cheeseburger]

I generally buy cars because I feel sorry for them. They tend to be the runt of the selection, regardless of price bracket. It’s a flaw of mine.

Regardless of that though, I do try and make sure the colour of the car is something I actually like. Crazy, no?
