On the Fiat section is a thread by @WillH http://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/forum/threads/fiat-cab-respray.125906/ on respraying his cab.
@landscaper replied to the thread with a picture of his van having had the bonnet resprayed a different colour to the rest of his cab which looks great(y)
Well as the front of my van looks like this
PDW_7961.jpg

I would like it resprayed and why not paint the bonnet a different colour to the rest like @landscaper has!
So over to you lot...Choose me a colour:D

This should help a picture of a Bessacarr E600 the same as my van.

I think the down side it will look like you got the bonnet from a scrapyard. :)

How much is a bonnet spray compared to a 2nd hand bonnet from the scrap yard?

What about matching the strips down the side of your van and maybe adding tbe colour on trims etc .

Another option is look for a local place that does vinyl wrap as that come is any colour you want and removable when you fancy a change.

Hi Brightonian - I've seen landscaper van and agree, it works well. I have the same fiat cab as you, and in your case I would go original, as in White. Yes, I know you want to change the colour but feel it may end up looking like a replacement bonnet you picked up in a scrapyard and had to make do with the colour etc. If you really must change colour then I would pick up on some colours you may have on any decals or stripes on the van, try and pick a colour that will compliment them....Best of luck whichever way you go(y)

Why not load your picture into some drawing/painting software as I did and try different colours. I did this and my wife chose the silver , I'm am not good with colour at all.

Sounds like it could work, would look quite subtle

You @DBK @beacons and @Notakwak could be right about it looking a replacement bonnet picked up from a scrapyard, like the idea of matching with decals or stripes on the van.

If only i had the skill and the software to do this:(

I just used the Windows photo viewer, very basic and part of the Windows package.

Try a bit of software called Gimp. I am sure that works with Mac. I use Paint.net but i think its windows only.
