Iconic Silver Paint Thread

[Carolina Jim]

I also took a shot of Iconic Silver

I don't pay a lot of attention to 150s, so this may be more common than I realize - but what did you think of the 2 body stripes? Figure this is a DIO decal? As much as I like Iconic, it might benefit from a splash of color.

Didn't notice a body stripe, did you mean the FX 4 decal ?

That's just the silver reflecting the blue sky on the body lines.

I agree though....IS needs a little something added. If I go silver I'll probably add some metallic blue striping too it. Maybe a close match to the interior blue colour on the BD.

Correct it's the body line reflection. But agree it would look nice with striping or decals. I was thinking on adding the Wildtrak side decals along with the Hood decal that it comes with, that should break up the silver nicely, IMO

I appreciate both your input....but damn - that's an awfully straight line for a reflection?

If I didn't see the truck in person I would of thought the same thing. Now that you pointed it out in the pic my eyes keep seeing the imaginary stripe, LOL

So....you're Determined to call it "imaginary"?

If you look at the 3 pics you posted the 2 'stripes' are in identical position from 3 different angles. I think I failed trigonometry, but that doesn't seem right.

If you revisit the truck, please keep us posted

I'm starting to agree with you:

Gonna match my Raptor

We have similar tastes. I also like a satin black hood on a silver truck. One of many possible outcomes for my future 2D.

These pics confirm it for me, I'll be waiting for for black mod hardtop. I like the way the black top breaks up the silver and at the same time pulls in the black matching rims, mirror and grille. On another note, that Defender 110 looks pretty cool.

Cool idea for putting wet stuff, but why do they put the Defender’s exterior gear box on the passenger side Vs the driver side? In the blind spot the way they did it. Or is it not in the blind spot in the UK where they drive on the left . . ..

Agree I'd rather have on left side, less of a blind spot. According to their website gear box only mounts to right side and latter gets mounted on left side. Dang Land Rover, always doing things backwards.

I am going to have top and grill painted black
