    What Color to Paint My Targa?

    Any suggestions I can't make up my mind? Originally it was light yellow!

    ironic it was light yellow, but it seems not one square inch of it has the color. Would you consider a complete non-conventional color?

    Stay with white. a newly painted white P-car can look very good. It will help on resale, and white is the most popular color for cars, in general.

    Love the Raggdy Andy look, but if you have to paint it I have experience with this indecision (over 30 years). Car was originally Signal Orange. Was brown when I bought it, and wanted to change to a neutral color so painted it white. Was eventually dis-satisfied with the white as it wasn't very original. Painted it metallic blue which was a color option for the year. It always kind of grated on me that it wasn't the original color, so I finally painted it Signal Orange.

    Would have saved me a lot of trouble to just paint it back to the original color in the first place!
