    When it comes to color it doesn't matter what everyone else likes. You're gonna be driving it so you need to be the one to decide. Start looking thru all the pics in the gallery and pick out a few that jump out and grab you, then narrow it down from there. Good luck...and have fun! :)

    Green's cool when done right. Dave's car proves that.

    wow this has turned out way different than i thought. :hmmm: thanks for your input. also about the Jolly Rodgers paint scheme was on my race car for years.... :rofl2::thumbs2: is there a come back coming up for burnt orange, or the underdog semi-gloss? or will green take the win? we'll find out later as for now thank you for voting. (my cheap imitation of a reality show...) :rofl2:thanks guys

    Great idea. the plate would say "RAT MAV"

    I'm seriously thinking of a paint scheme based off of Led Zeppelin II.

    [​IMG]

    except the Aircrew and Percy, Pagey, Jonesy, and Bonzo (that'd be hard to paint)

    and instead of Led Zeppelin II, it could say something like "Led Footed"

    It would be like if Peter Grant secided to sponsor them on a super stock car.

    But in my opinion, it's your opinion. :D

    Did mine Grabber Blue. ALways wanted that color. We shot some samples of new blues but stuck with the Grabber. The new blues were sharp but too much for an old car.
