IMHO I would look at non stock colors too.

There was a rare color on 1st gens called "royal plum". I think it would look really sweet with your plans.
Beautiful color that changes from a deep, dark, almost purple at night, to a more reddish RJT in the sun.

It does, your right. I can't see them though. Don't remember what the condition is, but I can't differentiate shades of color. If it's too close, I can't see it. Like ghost flames on cars, most times my wife points them out for me. :facepalm:

Can't tell ya... :D

I'm on the fence as to where the paint should stop... I think Nrom's looks cleaner/sleeker

But Russ's idea does look meaner.

I'm thinking that may be the way to go get a more custom red/maroon/plum color....

Plus RJT has no metallic and I'm thinking I'm gonna want that....

I am not feeling the RJT on the Blue for sum reason...maybe becuase I have not seen it in person....Orange, yellow, black, graphite maybe but not RJT. Maybe if you use it as an accent color.

I had a wild dea of reversing the color on my hood and having RJT stripes and CGM hood...in my head it looked really good until I actually saw one done that way...kinda glad I stuck with what I had.....

BUT here's the thing...if you like it that is the only thing that matters.

RJT does have metallic........Trust me on that one.

I've got an RJT fender in my garage and it doesn't seem to be there as much as it is on the IBM... :iono:

If you know the painter, and I think you do, flake can be added to whatever degree and size you want to any paint.

John and I will paint it for you if you want.

I like the smaller painted area up front

I've always liked PQ's scheme (no comment about borrowing from him to be made)

I was going to suggest lighter blue also, but you have "other plans"

There's a GM red from the 70's called Firethorne Red that might be what you are looking for. Eyepopping metallic

Looking good

Yeah we just have to scuff up the surface a little bit

This isn't confusing enough, let me help :D

Silver, grey, tan white, and hues just off of blue complement blue. Copper might be a nice compromise...

Gotta be careful with the 3 primary colors,(red yellow blue) lots of contrast... needs to be the right shade.

can you see dead people?

...wait... so how can you read this if it's black? :laugh:

LOL

It all looks like this:

freaky

I did know that. ;) :D

I'm thinking the accent piece needs to be less eye catching than the rest of the car??? the color change itself should be enough make you notice it... I don't want the car to look like it has Red lipstick... :laugh:

NO! :mad0260:

I need to stick with colors that will work with a red white and blue theme.. ;)

:confused0068:

Have you taken it outside and looked?

It's the main reason I mentioned that it might be too much with the IBM.

Maybe not, but it's the metalflake that made me say that.

I vote for fushia, but if that doesn't work, what about metallic gold.........:iono:

I may just make a custom mix and see what happens... play with the metal flake and color... It's not something I have to do... but it is something i've been kicking around...

NOT helping....

:laugh:

Like us members?

white base with maroon accents then

still looks like it's got a bloody mouth & in those pics, it also looks like the car's almost CGM

well from a lighting/video perspective (we have to think about this whole color compliment thing), a white/blue car with red accents would be less visually aggravating than red/blue with white. now there's a caveat & exception to just about everything, so it's all in how it comes together.



besides... you're the one who has to look at it every day. make it like you want & let us have whatever opinions we have.




now, just to be fair... if it looks like trash, we'll never let you live it down *wink*

Just checking.....I like it!!! :)

black....that is all

Listen to the Stones.

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love, both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a newborn baby it just happens ev'ryday

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not forsee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

Hmm, hmm, hmm...

I wanna see it painted black, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun, blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah

Unless it is Pedders RED. Then it is perfect as is.

Out for Delivery!!! :bellyroll:

WTF????? That was supposed to be a vid of a spoiler. Catchy though, eh?

you feeling ok?????

:laugh: Yeah, I don't know what link I copied up there. :facepalm:

didjyagetityet? :popcorn:

It'll be at the front door when I get home this afternoon. UPS gets in our area around 5ish.

I'll hit PayPal tonight. Thank you so much!!!

yeah I'll sent that paypal information to you right now...

:rolleyes:

;)

I like your painter. And your packer.

Is he still selling Pedders parts?

Ummm.....no? ;)

I am http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile...232_8092_n.jpg the http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...W2ZkB8UPmZwPTA

you're poking the angry face in the eyes? :iono:

:facepalm:

Since whatshisname is around I think we should have a PARTY here. Anyone have a theme for tonight's bash?

how about the Navy's 100yrs of aviation?

i just got back from the Blue Angels air show - it was pretty good.

ya know... what's funny is that i've been stationed across the street from the Blues for over a year now & this is the first time i've actually sat down & watched them perform.

usually, we all just roll our eyes & wonder when they're gonna quit disrupting our classes with their low passes & quit closing the airspace so we can get our training flights in :laugh:
