Battling with colour choice - Late Bay

Post by brucet »

Some of you may know i recently bought a late bay from a forum member and have already started restoring it. I am trying to decide on the body colour and daily my mind changes but I have narrowed my choices down to two colours. Which would you go for? A or B?

A.

B.

The Bus (which runs perfectly but is yet to be named):

Im leaning towards B as its brighter but still not 100%.......

if you polish up the old paint, you may find it the same colour after all.
