I’ve been monitoring the list for a while since I acquired an MGA 1500 a couple of years ago. 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”.<br>><br>> I guess I’m just looking for some ideas on how others have resolved this dilemma. (Trading the wife in is a non-starter. Anyone recommend a particular shade of yellow?)<br>> _______________________________________________<br>><br>> <a href="mailto:Mgs@autox.team.net" target="_blank">Mgs@autox.team.net</a><br>> Donate: <a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br>> Suggested annual donation $12.75<br>> Archive: <a href="http://www.team.net/archive" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/archive</a><br>> Forums: <a href="http://www.team.net/forums" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/forums</a><br>> Unsubscribe: <a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/mgs/jimray@hartcom.net" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/mgs/jimray@hartcom.net</a><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br><br><a href="mailto:Mgs@autox.team.net" target="_blank">Mgs@autox.team.net</a><br>Donate: <a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br>Suggested annual donation $12.75<br>Archive: <a href="http://www.team.net/archive" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/archive</a><br>Forums: <a href="http://www.team.net/forums" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/forums</a><br>Unsubscribe: <a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/mgs/dan.dibiase@gmail.com" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/mgs/dan.dibiase@gmail.com</a></p></blockquote></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>-- </p></div><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/danieljdibiase" target="_blank">www.linkedin.com/in/danieljdibiase</a></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
