Just an idea I've been tinkering with. Thoughts?

I think its ugly. Your current paint scheme (graphics) is much better (minus the xB on the fog light cover)

I think it would work if you went with a darker red. I like it..

I'd say it'd be a cool idea....

if you're planning on goin' huntin' a lot and tying deer to the hood...

I wear camos everyday... I believe it is extremely impossible to use camo in any way to be "fashionable". It is also not unique, since many rednecks have beaten you to it allready except they camo'ed up their Chevy pickups, while you'll have the only camo xB.

Your current scheme looks great.

EDIT:

Looking at your box for a bit, and the reply about camo red... I remembered the camo that is in Metal Gear Solid 3. "Snake" has a camo pattern for fire/red, brown areas. If you keep the red top and just digitize a fading red camo pattern, I could see it looking pretty cool and also unique.

But I'm not sure about red.

I think you need to go with a darker color. Obviuosly you like red, but I dont think the two go together.... Black would look good....

colors are great, but you need to create a new scheme, where the red starts a lil farther down, and starts off as flames or suttin, now that would be phat, kinda like boxillas xept diff colors

Is that photoshopped?

I'm really not that big on red. It's just one of the few colors that I think goes well with the camo. Black fades in to much. If you look at other pics of my car there is a black stripe right behind the red one. Sometime's it's really noticeable somtimes not.

I really like boxilla's paint scheme. Camo does look good with silver but I don't want to copy theirs.

Yes, technically Paint Shop Proed but it's just an altered image.

Maybe a dark grey, black.

That is really well done.........it even has the reflections.
I have got to figure out how to do that stuff.

I like it how it is now (minus the xB foglight cover thing). Your red accents are subtle and good.

Metro273: This is off topic but have you thought about joining the Redline club? I noticed in your sig that you are a member of HotWheelsCollectors.com. There are still memberships available. I just joined for the first time at the beginning of the month.

i like the camo and red...but i think you shoul use a rust color instead of red.....my favorite color on anything is rust.....id like to put some rust color of some sort on my FM tC....just dont have any creative inspiration or money to do it right now.

Damnit, someone needs to teach me how to do that graphics stuff.

I also think that the rust color would look better, but it is your unique car, and you should do what you like to it, if you can take the heat if most others don't care for it. If all others don't like it, and you do, keep it for yourself. Variety is the spice of life, I have heard, and Different strokes for different folks. Go for it if it is what you like. Have fun with it. :ponder:

I was going to the the xb off the front a few weeks ago but my wife complained about wasting money since my windshield banner had just come off. It'll be gone soon.

Damn, the super green is nice.
I'd get that rather than the red 2tone.

I saw a lime green-ish xB on the road one time.
I was like wtf? I rubber-necked it big time.

Sorry man, not feeling the red on top. How about Phantom Gray?

02-14-2005, 05:55 PM
How about a Flint Mica xB? Would look tight?

No what? I think that would look cool.

I kinda like the two tone schemes on the Mini's. . . I think a nice take would be a white top, with a red sun on the top (like a Japanese flag), instead of a british flag.

Straying off topic, I would like to see an xB or xA with a "Nemo" / Clownfish paint scheme? :eyebrow: Maybe begin with an orange xB as a starting base ,it could have been a good sponsor car with PixAr !? Maybe there will be a sequal. :doh: The xA is definitly closer to the coresponding shape of a small fish than the xB. The TC is a streamlined car so a shark/barracuda color scheme (skin) would look cool. As for the xB, well I am at a loss for ideas for skins.

Japanese Flag xB?
If he/she was Japanese, I don't they'll have that much pride.
Wouldn't want to look like a tampon with a blood spot either. :P

A plain white top would be unique, yet good on the eye.

It's more of a joke. . . the japanese flag thing. . . a play on mini's as they are British cars (although they are owned by the germans) and Scion's are Japanese cars.
