Well I pick the car up from Replikit on thursday and it will go straight to the bodyshop whilst I am away in Calgary to get most of the prep done. They are going to spray the inners of the car, doors, boot, bonnet etc and then once I am back I can do a few mods to the body before they have it back again with the bodykit fitted for the all over.
So question is the colour? there are so many gorgeous colours that its so flipping hard to choose. I have however narrowed it down to red....ish.....sort off. I do need to try and import the FC into some sort of 3D model software and have a play with colours, various wheel styles etc, does anyone know of a programme thats free and can do this?
next I need your help in choosing the final colour and maybe colours. I quite like the combination of the Fast and Furious colours, I will have a black roof made from mohair so more black than the almost greyish standard cab vinyl roof. have a play, send in your schemes and it might just get picked. I see what some of the chaps do in certain motoring mags in heavily modding standard cars so you could let the imagination flow freely.
I do have lots of pics of cabs in various colours, bodykits etc so have a rough idea on the look but everyones view is important, sometimes just taking certain ideas and blending them makes all the difference.
One of the colours I like is actually a Toyota orange paint code 3L1 so gives an idea of colours I might be thinking off. might even play with a bit of black to blend the roof in a bit, see the limits are endless but this has to be finished by Rotastock and time is running out.
I will bring a few slabs of beer for the Rotastock evening party just to show my appreciation.
well in my honest opinion multi coloured cars are ugly, unless done well. Some of the audi\'s are great, and i like the black and red 180 sx\'s. But still thats only with the roof not the whole car. So maybe an idea would be to get the boot of the car in the same colour as the roof?
im no photochopper so i can only describe im afraid :D
I would suggest either all black, or all white :) but I mean if you wanna go for a unique colour, perhaps try that cream colour they use on type Rs, if you wanna go for red I would suggest a deep red like this:

well thats the sort of red I had in mind for a red or I will go with that colour with more bronze in it. I already thought of doing the boot and some of the bonnety in black, looks good on some cars but again photoshop will proove otherwise.
I must admit I\'m a sucker for Candy apple red. Depending on the lines of the car you get deep red right through to bright reds all from the same colour.
hmm not a fan of the black bonnets on these cars because of the lights. If you ditch the popups then it would be ace in black :D
and yes candy apple red with a carbon fibre spoiler would be good, a friend has a civic like that, he will be there on sunday too so you can see it in the flesh, the paint looks really good
