Re: best colour for a GT40
I would say that the best colour would be a deeep and dark blue with a super shiny topcoat, with the stickers in white!

Re: best colour for a GT40
White! The light colors really accentuate the beautiful lines of the car. And stripes of pretty much any color can be applied to add "color."

Black is a great colour, but a pain in the butt to keep clean.....Red makes you go fast.

Yep, Yellow and black for me as well. The hardest thing will be picking the right shade of yellow.
