Paint is too personal, it depends what you like? If I were you I would start thinking of the theme of your machine.... do you want it to be pretty? do you want it to be tough? Do you want it to look like a GA chopper or a military style? Do you want it to be flashy or functional? There is so many variations to try to come up with one without seeing the finished machine IMO....

I guess looking around at the colors cars are coming out in these days and see if there is anything you like the look of?

There is nothing wrong with white, with colored areas of your choice in parts, or even wrap is good these days :noidea

What colors do you have in mund? What color is the other one in your pictures beside yours? :yoda2 :Wolvie

I actually like the blue in your avatar pic :laughing :laughing

If you paint the doghouse black and the bottom black (or wrap like carbon fiber) then you can change the colour on the rest of it if you first pick a color you decide you don't like?

I think if it were me, I would paint it white and wrap it :like :pop

It is an unusual red isn't it? Hopefully Arnie will look soon, he is pretty big on paint :like

It looks to be like a Ferrari red with white added.... to give it that milky look.... it is almost orange:noidea :Wolvie

It is a typical GM Red used thru the 2000's and probably still today.

We like red too !!! The car is still in the family , it gets sold back and forth between nephews .... and my brothers new trucks are always the same red .

However when I look back ... most of my vehicles were blue so that must actually be my favorite color ... I like the blue on the Cobra body posted above.

Anyway ... here is GM's version of Ferrari Red ... seeing as Ferrari themselves will not sell the paint unless you provide a serial number for a Ferrari and show you are repairing one .... I know because I tried :)
