what color should i paint it





so here is what it looks like right now. For obvious reason i want a paintjob. i was just seeing what your opinions on what color it should be painted were. actually what shade of red. i want it red for when i pop the hood i don't get the flannel effect. i was thinking either vintage red or the stock color (on the obviously better side). or im open to your guy's opinions. thanks fellas

Pink...Unique...That's a shade of red, right?...Why do you want me, a guy you don't even know, to pick the color of your paint?

in order to stay away from the "flannel" effect why not do red flames on the front end in order to justify the red engine bay then go with a nice mica silver on the rest
Personally id like to see more 7's with flames

With that last line, you just knew you were invoking Wonko

Gotta love a car with good, custom-style flames on it Red and silver was one of my color choices when I was designing my paintjob Of course, I was going to go with a heavy metal-flake red (like my green is), and then a normal, very slightly metalflake silver.

IaMtHeRuThLeSs1 - I never see other 7s with flames on them..

oh yeah, Classicauto - Do you have flames on your 7?
