Chris Wilson Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 I am hopeless at this sort of thing, so any ideas for a nice bright colour to repaint my new Zeus race car in, as I am sick of red race cars, having had more than my share come in this colour. A plain none metallic makes sense to keep maintenamce costs down for touching up, but a nice metallic considered. Definitely no flip flops, candy or other exotica though. Would like something bright, even garish. Dual colours considered, but the costs of repair need to be considered. I want to leave the back wing in bare carbon. I have new rims in anthracite grey, which I can't afford to have stripped amnd re-coated. I also have some new bright, strong yellow rims, but I can use these on another car, thats plain black carbon, to brighten it up a bit. Cheers!

RobSheffield Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 it looks good two tone - copy a colour scheme from one of the le mans GT cars?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian C Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 A Hello Kitty motif. Failing that, how about exactly the same shade purple as Rosie's? You want something that stand out from the pack so people in the crowd can recognise you and root for you! Two tone is the way to go with that I think, like that ghastly green and red photoshop above, lovely -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black cat Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 I reckon two ti=one, the original red with green accents I had a quick go with paint shop: inst it " red and green should never be seen"??.. sos :nyah: i think burnt orange with gunmetal wheels and gunmetal wingmirrors and spoiler........ tt steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 i definately still say black - in fact - matt black - with gunmetal alloys and a carbon spoiler that would look cool! bit of a stealth job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 black with a bright yellow lighting bolt down the side or yellow with a black lighting bolt down the side I know it always good to have race cars in bright colours... one so that other cars can see you clearly and don't run into you and another so that your car stands out in photos or from tv footage.

attilauk Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 i reckon Subaru WRC Blue with the centre raised section of the car in yellow would look pretty striking, especially with yellow rims... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaoriFan Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 confuse everyone and go for British Racing Green, with highlights or failing that, standard silver, as its the fastest colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted December 20, 2005 Author Share Posted December 20, 2005 I quite like the 2 tone, and the split line! Maybe if I got rid of the red altogether? Black and gold? Yellow and blue? Should the darker colour be at the bottom or top? Cheers, some good ideas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supraman Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Chris, Blue and green with green for the centre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
