the car looks crazy....the widebody kit begs for an aggressive color paint...painting it yellow will be "eh"

it needs a deep color that says "roar" instead of a light color that "screams"

unless you want it to scream

hmmm...according to my explanation i dont know if i proved my point or contradicted it...o well


how about a really dark orange

I agree with Hava, I picture a deeper color for a solid color, or a multi color paint scheme. I dunno, I guess it's supposed to be over the top, but bright yellow may be over the edge.

(how about the darker yellow that RuF uses, that color is the awesome)





RuF gives me a semi.

The car won't be just solid yellow. We've got some crazy things planned for it. It will be a work in progress for quite some time.

ureka!!!....spend like $500 on different spray paints and then experiment...its the cheapest way to see what the color looks like in person....

or else just have them test it with their paints...which would be much more expensive

I was told not to post any more pics until it's painted. We're taking the car to SEMA, so it will be done in 11 days or less!
I can't wait, I'll post pics as soon as possible.

Looks like somebody found the font function. Is this a new trend for you?

This is what I mean. This color!!!

Except that's not a Diablo, that's a Murcielago.

And that is one ginormous spoiler!! You could have a full family reunion picnic on that thing!
