Okay guys, Im getting my car all laid out as far as design and I want my to paint my car to make it different from all the rest. Ive been thinking of a few combinations as to how i want to lay the car out color wise.

1) • 021 orange color, Black, 186 Red, 1070 White, and 2945 blue. (design Airbrush "abstract")

2) • 376 green, neon orange, Orbital Yellow, and black (design Airbrush "abstract")

3) • "3 tone", white top, Black bottom, Metallic Silver Pinstriping and SHO letterings.

4) • Pearlescent green, and black pinstriping and SHO letterings

5) • Black, with silver Shading throughout the whole car giving it a 3 dimensional look of pipes going in and out of the body of the car.

if you guys could help me on picking from these 5 I would really appreciate the help to narrow down my options as to what im going to do with it.

Thanks for the help so far. Im trying to work out what it will look like with photoshop at the moment and just trying to get a color palet set up right now then to go forward and lay it out on the car in the program. Soon as I can get to that point then it will be back for critisism. But more help on the selections would be great as well to help me better think as to what seems better.

I always thought that a pearl white color would look awsome on a SHO

nothing crazier then this, no kindergarten colors like orange, neon green or blue, yellow, purple, etc. If you can find a nice SOLID clean color, go for it.

The Pearl white above is really neat, but Audi has by far the coolest deepest looking pearl white ever.

sounds good. Thanks for the help guys. Ive currently got most of the outlines laid out on paper. Hopefully soon I can get a friend with a camera so that i can throw up some pics. Sometime this week I will be hopefully getting to all the shading for the rough layout of it.

I really like the new Matador Red Mica that the Lexus IS comes in, pictures do not do that color justice. In the sunlight it is INCREDIBLE!... The caddy pearl white is a great color too though.
