CHOOSING THE BODY COLORS

I have been considering colors for the exterior. I always stress over stuff like this. Anyway, early on, my friend and fellow MGB enthusiast, Robert had given me a photo of a yellow MGB that had been customized a bit. I thought it looked cool and began to consider yellow with black “skunk” stripes…the “Killer B”. I have even gone so far as to develop a cartoon sketch of a bumblebee with anger management issues.
As I began to spray the black epoxy primer on the body, I thought it looked pretty good…you know, stealth. So maybe black with yellow stripes? Just when I thought I had a plan.
I just hate red, even though every sports car made is red. The last MGB I restored was Old English White, so I’m burned out on that. The only other “English” color that even half way interests me is British Racing Green and it has been done and done and done. So, for now I guess it is yellow and black…any thoughts?
