I vote dark blue. I'm a little biased because thats the color I've got and I like it, but it is a good color for a 1st gen. smile.gif Sleeper-looking stock two tone dark blue and silver would be neat. smile.gif

EDIT: Oh yeah, stock colors, but add in a little pearl or metallic flake. smile.gif

White because it's easy to touch up after you've gone and rubbed fenders with other cars!
1 can of Krylon gloss white $2.99
Your car looking good enough to shoot for your championship photo ... priceless! tongue.gif

I vote Gun Metal, it's what I plan on going with eventually.

Do you have any major sponsors, or is this just basically your hobby? If you have major sponsors helping with costs, then you might consider how their logos and lettering will look on the color you choose. Since I'm in the sign business and have lettered many a racecar, this is just something I always think about. How the total package will look when it's all done.

I like the sleeper look myself, I dont like cars that stand out wanting to be noticed. To me that usually goes along with the ricer (slow) fad. $.02

I vote for hot pink.. maybe some purple polka-dots. How hilarious would it be to beat a supposedly faster car with a pink car? LOL

whats wrong with a dark racecar? lotus is my favorite car company and their type 72 cars have been the coolest imo. black with gold trimming and wheels cool.gif

id do this scheme with black as the main color, and championship white where the black stripes are:



if youre going to go one color, nothing beats this pastel blue on this porsche:

yummy techart gt street s

pink w/grey polka dots is cool too. just make sure you win your races smile.gif
