Ok, my folks got a really nice HP colour ink jet printer for xmas.
So I had my father do up a yellow GT6 print out for me.

The results were great. Very real looking.

So now I want too try wedgewood blue as reference when I get the car
painted.

The only pict I have found of a GT6 in the colour is this one

Lots of spits on the http://www.triumphspitfire.com/ site so I made my own
up.

I did 3 takes.

-this ones was done by using a pantone colour chart and hold it up to a
picture of a blue TR4 from Classic Cars. Too purple.

-this one was done more manually, really played with the colour till I was
happy. Its the one I will paint. Might be a little too light, but looks
real.

-This last one was done by sampling the colour chart from

Close, but too hot I think.

Which do you think is the best.
