Nice paint work, but always reminds me of Nissan Primera back in the late 90's
Nothing wrong with a late 90s Primera.
There's a flip blue special edition IIRC, I assume that's what you mean (mine's just boring green).
I think flip paint looked really dated 5 years ago.
I've never been convinced by white, but that fake picture of Mikey's with black Volks looks really good IMO. So I'd go for white, or black, but in reality would just buy a new one.
A flip is what you see in the TVR above. Where, depending on the light and the plain of the surface you are viewing, the colour of the paint appears to change colour or shade.
in the corner of the front bumper of the T350 the colour is gold/brown where above that area it changes from green to purple. Although the colour is different the car has been paint in the same colour all over.
White is being forecast as the new silver, witness the R Type Civic feaured in some mags, the new R8 Audi Coupe & Porsche Cayenne/911 variations on test at Goodwood this week.
Some concerns though that this hue will always be associated with taxis, vans and refrigerators. Maybe, just maybe, in metallic..............

Any more info required then ask a paint expert.
There was a 'Flip' Elise and TVR in green and blue, at this months Goodwood Breakfast Club Meet. I couldn't help but note that the general reaction was one of mirth rather than admiration.
Chameleon paint on an S would look a bit crap IMHO. It works on TVRs because they are so outrageously styled - on more classic styling I don't think it works at all.
