Finally got my roof rack together - any suggestions on colour?

 

I'm thinking off white, but let me know if you can come up with any better ideas?

 

The mini will be a light blue when finished.

What wood is that....?

 

If its hardwood, I'd be tempted to just varnish it - a lot.... and leave it wood colour :)

I second mini freak, get that wood varnished.

If you are talking about the frame, a nice off white would look good - what about powder coating it?

It's actually just pine that's been stained to within an inch of its life, varnish is going on tomorrow.

Definitely think OEW is sounding good!

Looks good matey, like a sheep I go for OEW too.

Get a few snaps when done.

I've managed to get some paint onto the roof rack, and have test fitted it to the car.  I still need to do some paint touch ups and fit a couple more pieces of wood, but it's more or less complete.

 

I wish I'd made it slightly bigger now, but overall I'm happy with it!  Now just need a big load to carry....
