The purple in the flames also tend to change depending on the angle so it makes the badges look quite different. I need to repaint them with a little red and black added to the purple. I might also change it to purple blending to orange. Right now it's purple into the magenta like the flames.

Here's another pic of them

Ok i've thought about a dark blue pearl, or a black pearl.
Here is the blue w/ ghost flames (thanks to jsears)...
<img src="http://bellsouthpwp.net/j/s/jsears8/onyxls1/onyxls1pearlblueflames.jpg" alt=" - " />

To paint the car a different color the $$ gets up there I may end up just staying black, also I drive the car a lot so a small fender bender would be terrible bc I would have to repaint the whole car.
There are just to many damn black cars!
Here is the car right now...

I had my car painted Graphite Metallic, same as the Lexus IS300. I love this color and I don't see why more people don't talk about it. I've had the car this color for about a year now and it still looks wet (thats what 6 coats of clear will do for you). I've been trying to get more pics of the car but I'm looking for a good location to do it at. I was thinking maybe going to some industrial steel junk yard or something like that were there is all these piles of metal. Anyway, I have a few pics in my Sig. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

All those grey colors look really nice. Maybe you should go with something like that.
