Im going through ideas in my head on a paint/graphic style.
Few things im considering:
-may or may not have a top on. Must look ok either way.
-car will be judged on aethetic package and should IMO be either original or have some kind of racing heritage to make sense.
-I will be doing my own paint, will be the 8th car I will have done so I can paint, but i would like to avoid overly complex designs.
-I would like to limit the overall paint scheme to have no more than 3 colors both for expense and for ease of application.
-the paint colors should be basic colors more or less so I can buy the paint for cheaper (think
remix)
The car is a RHD shell and is BRG at the moment but the doors will likely be another color when i go to pick them up.
Here is a link to my thread if you are not familiar with my project:

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Three very good options.
Going to sound very club roadster esque and im not sure what it even would mean in terms of a racecar but how about something "JDM". might work with a theme being that the car is right hand drive.
Take that how you want to... im not even sure what i expect when i say it LOL.
