Paint job time, any ideas? I think our club is going to work out a car painting deal here soon and I don't want my car to be black anymore <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> . I want a color that wasn't an option, of course. I'm really leaning towards a green of some shade. How dark was the green that was offered for a few years? I'll also have some flames painted kind of like these http://home.attbi.com/~mhefner/garage/Corvette.htm . They'd be green though, but either slightly darker or brighter than the rest of the car. Just enough to make you do a double take, ya know? <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

That is the car my flames were mildly based off of. The shop made mine more of a blueish color and slightly more visible.

Re: Paint job time, any ideas? I would do a mellinum yellow or a Chrome Illusion type deal, even though that can get pricey....
But the ultimate color I would go with is the Electron Blue.... <img src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" border="0" alt="[hail]" />
