Possible paint schemes

I had a digital artist I know (www.crystaleyeillusions.com ), create some tentative paint schemes for the old FD.




Tell me what you guys think. Colors are still up for debate, so all opinions are welcome. Unlike someone with a certain BOMEX BODY KIT, I welcome frank opinions.

Those designs look like the rejects from the FnF movies.

Those don't look too good, sorry. Leave it silver or it's stock color.

Wow all of those would look really really bad. . . . .
All orange might look cool though.
Stick to one color please, and if anything make the second color a ghost of the first then atleast it would be sublte.

Just my .02

i know what you're trying to do... the best thing is make it fade lighter going up vertically... this makes the car look lower and more aggressive

Those look very, very bad. I strongly suggest keeping the car a single color but if you are really looking for that "effect", I would do something more like LouisM suggested and do a SUBTLE fade vertically.

Thanks all, for the subtle vert fade idea. My original idea would replace the oranges with blue. Think Number Four, but with the back completely black, and with the lighter stripe a lot thinner. Would that help?

No. I would take #4, keep the black parts black. Change the oranges to black, and have it fade from black to black.
