me and my buddy are about to paint mine, we are going to go with a charcoal gray on top, cut just below the windows, curves down on the front. the bottom of that will be a light silver. the trim pieces will be in silver mettalic flake, 4 or 5 coates of clear. i think it sounds great.

There are about 2 million FC picture threads up in the non-technical/pictures forum. A great place to start would be to look through all of them.

I'll never understand why people want to paint their cars but don't know what colour to do it. Paint is a pretty significant investment so it's amazing to me that colour and style is not the first decision. Don't paint your car the way others say it should be done, paint it the way you want it done.
