Paint Scheme concept for my project car...what do you think?
I like the idea of blue w/ orange but i dont think the colors came out too great on the pictures you did. The orange to me needs to be a little more red than yellow, and i would darken the blue a shade of 2. Interesting design though. Though about painting the mirrors the orange? Or maybe some small stripes going back on the hood?

I considered doing the mirrors orange, but I don't want them to stick out. Matching roof halos and mirrors is a Camaro thing anway
I also considered some sort of stripe on the hood, but I prefer the solid blue over anything that would break it up. I even considered a Pontiac arrowhead at the front of the car in orange that turns into a stripe running down the center of the hood. I'm not a Firebird fan because it's a Pontiac. I like them because of the styling (and Chevrolet power)

Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions. I'm years away from actually painting the car, so there is plenty of time to bat ideas around.

That's the battery cut-off switch. The battery has been relocated to the rear of the car. Pushing it in breaks the circuit. It's a safety item in case of a racing accident. It's easily accessible to any track personnel/safety crew that would need to kill the power to your car.
