Default What do you think about this paint scheme?

Well not really paint but read on.

I am tired of having my T/A looking like every other Navy Blue Metallic T/A out there. So I got to thinking of what would be diffrent but still nice. So I thought maybe putting some Bronze or dark Gold colored racing stripes with either aftermarket bronze/dark gold wheels. I really like my stock rims (Speedlines is what I belive you guys call them) so im thinking of just having them powder coated and leaving the lip either polished or having them chromed. I have seen black T/As with this scheme to them but never a NBM. What do you guys think? Be brutally honest please!

Yeah i might get some one to photoshop it. Got to get a good picture first. thanks for the feedback guys.

I think Copper would be cool but it wouldn't look good on the wheels and I want them to match.

More feedback please!

Im pretty possitive im going to do it. Im going to run by a local shop here that does this type of work and see if he has photoshop to see what it would look like. I think I have also decided that beside the racing stripes im going to do the matching black bird stripes on the sides of the nostrils as well.

Thanks again for all the input!

This might not help you any, idk but i think gold looks decent, its not my fav color but it doesn't bother me. I don't remember where I found this, it's a goat but it might possibly give you an idea



sorry about posting up other people's cars

I actually think it would be pretty cool, and definitely different.

But personally, I would rather keep the wheels the way they are and just do some simple silver graphics.

Thats the thing though, I dont want my car to look like the rest. Silver seems to be the only color people with NBM go with and I like it but I would never do it for that fact.
I figure Vinyl can be removed and if I powder coat the stockers and dont like it, I can just buy me aftermarkets.

Thanks for all the input guys, keep it coming. I'm going to see about it on Saturday so we'll see...

Hmmm, thanks for the pic. I was thinking either a darker bronze color or a lil bit lighter gold. We'll see I guess. thanks again!
