This is my RX7, which I may run in the next series if rules permit.  I'm leaving the empty space for numbers or required logos.  If the logos turn out not to be required (or it doesn't make it into the series) I'll probably put something else there.  So yes, it's a bit bare right now.

My Clio Cup Car.  There was an earlier version, but when I realized that there's now a "Team America....."

It is highly likely that the above post was produced with a drippy jowl.

Yeah, that was taken from the film of a tuning session.  I have added more stars since then.

Not really a paint pic, but this is one of my favorite photomode shots.

This is a possible GT400 car.  It's still a work in progress.

So I've got two thoughts on the Camaro's paintjob.

1.  Almost every color looks better than my attempted garnet with the gold on the front.  I'm considering changing to either a brighter red or a different color entirely.  The traditional TT green is an option, and blue looks pretty sharp.

2.  I have a friend coming into town for a few days with some graphical design experience and a Master's in fine arts.  Maybe she can help put together a good FSU logo for the Camaro.

I think it looks pretty good as is.  But I agree, a brighter color - prehaps one of the custom red/gold pearl things as a base color would give it some life...

Thanks.  I'm just not sure about the pearl approach because, in addition to wanting an FSU theme, I'm going for an American Iron look, and it's already fancy by those standards.  Definitely going to give that a shot, though.

Looks good fndr, but if you want to brighten it up a bit you could try using a metallic as the base colour - it really does liven the gradients up. Best example I can give from my collection is the rainbow NSX:

It really is nothing more than a couple of gradients over metallic yellow.

Metallic red looks decent.  Thanks for the tip.  I still may end up with TT green, though, if only because I feel I have to represent my shop.
