Ok, so I have some raven side skirts and rear bumper. Also a drifter style front bumper. I have been working to making the kit perfect for a few months off and on. But now its getting cold and my garage isnt large enough to work on it. So Im going to put it back to stock soon till spring.


Sooo........ I have been designing what the exterior paint scheme would be. I want to have a scheme that I like but need some outside opinions. I hope to have a design ready for spring for paint. But next spring priority would 1st be the fitment, look, and durability of the kit. This is my 1st draft design.

Tell me what you like, dont like and what I can do in your eyes make it great.

Thanks to all input and if anyone is interested, I can also do designs based on your tC pics with any exterior bodykit.

Hope you can all see the images

 

pix no workie for me....

 

nothing but red X's for me... (picts dont work)

 

sorry I will work on that.

I hope you can all see the images now.

 

I don’t really like any of it. I think you should just repaint the whole car if you plan on doing that much to it. Come up with a unique color and work from there. Do you plan on getting rims and tires? I would put that into consideration. Some people do so much work to the body and forget about the wheels and makes the car look half-assed IMO.

 

Crazy Japanese Anime looking body-kit YO!!....

 

no. no . no no no no no.

 

pic's dont work.

 

Is the driver side the only one getting the diagonal striping? Either way, I don't like it, but it isn't my car.

 

This is a joke right?

 

well its hard to imagine it because the photoshopping is terrible. The first design looks rice to me though.

 

Go with what you want but I agree that maybe you should just paint the whole thing

 

its just a flash design draft. Im not sure, I was thinking oem color, but I want to be different from the others in my area. Ok, then what color body decal would go nice with flint mica?

I like anime, does look like an anime rendering.

 

I vote for the complete color change, but it is your car.

 

I just need to figure the color and cost. I do want something that is simular to colors you'd think of as night time. A shade of the night. Like dark blue, crimson blue, something like that, but its hard to find a color I can see in real life.

 

If your going to do a design like that, make sure the design is "ghosted" on there. Make it very subtle. Just a little darker than FM. I still say go with a complete color change or complete FM repaint.

 

if u do anything at all scrap painting the rear bumper and the side skirts and the mirror...leave the stripes and hopefully u do both sides...lol and do it ghosted as said before and then maybe pin strip it. if i was u i would just get the car 2 tones and have the top half black or a darker charchoal and accent it. just my thoughts

 

thanks all. but how do i get it ghosted? the reason i made the color design like that is that i think a lower darker color would look good as since my car's name is NightShade. I have a window decal on it. I want it to resemble shades of the night. Like black and grey and crimson something. lol. But what scheme would make that happen with flint mica?

Thanks for the opinions.

 

ghost it meaning a slight different shade of flint mica maybe just a bit of black or white into the mixture...umm or u can pearl coat just that part. im not really a hundred percent sure how you would
