Default Color ideas
I'm turning my T/A into a formula and It has a WS6 hood and wheels, I'm just trying to figure out what color to paint it. Its NBM right now but it always is looking dirty. I dont want black or dark blues, I'm thinking about the blue on 07 dodge trucks callled electric blue pearl coat or the pearl white from caddilac. I just want something different that is a little easier to keep clean. Anyone post up some ideas or pics will work too.

Use this color, its called "Custom 2002 Corvette Electron Metallic Blue Paint". Xsta Z 28 has it on his Berger and it looks SICK!!! It would look really good on a T/A.

The only colors I know I dont want is black, green or any darker color. I've been thinking about a metallic orange someone on here has a ta in a color like that though. I could go for the CETA paint scheme just in whit and black. that might look pretty good.


That camaro loooks pretty killer, I actually like the red inserts in the seat too

Flamin you have the worst luck ever.
