[Mgs] Time to choose a paint color

[David Ambrose]

Maybe your wife is thinking about being seen. I could understand that. 
Whatever you do, don't paint it Grampian Grey. My MGB-GT is that color 
and it's virtually invisible against an asphalt road at any significant 
distance. I can't tell you how many times I've had tractors pull out in 
front of me. I got into the habit of turning on the headlamps if it was 
overcast or sort of foggy. I'm definitely going to repaint with some 
other color. SoCal drivers are just too stupid.

Cheers,
Dave Ambrose

I’ve been working on getting it on the road ever since and I’m now at the point that I have to choose the paint color. It was originally OEW. I received it in a bright white state with a fair amount of body and mechanical work required. I have been leaning toward going with the original color, but the one I must not upset says she wants it to be yellow.  I know there are always those that will say that after spending all of that effort and money I should keep it original, and others that say “it’s your car - do what you want”.
