eesh... too bottom-heavy for me.

If you do it, paint the door handles gold, and get rid of all the decals (or at least make them gold), it makes the car look too cluttered. Make sure your wheels are black too, the gold/silver/gunmetal/black thing is just way too busy, too many colors going on.

In my opinion, Jackpot Gold is one of the sexiest colors, and if executed properly, you can have one kick butt machine (evidenced by Rachel's car, or Isko's). I just don't think that Foci lend themselves well to two-tone style paint jobs.

I'm going back to my movie and my Coronas now, PM me a link to an un-chopped pic if you want me to play with it.

Well, I'm kinda torn now....... But I think I still like my Idea better, I understand what you guys mean about the truck/suv thing (Eddie Bauer Style) Paint, I just like it Myself on the car. The second Idea is nice too and it isn't alot different but I don't know... Still indecisive.....
HELP !!

Troy.
I knew you'd like my idea. And I'm not even good at photoshop.
 
I got a cooler idea. I like the black / gold scheme, but not how you guys are dividing the color up. I'll try to photoshop something together, but what if you did all black with gold accents in certain places. That or consider how the ProDTM kit was painted and do something like that- maybe even reverse it so that where the proDtm kit was black, do gold & where it was red make it black. That would be hot.

So.... How about like the PRO DTM Kit ?
I know My car doesn't have the kit but I like the paint scheme heres a mock up of it, I still cant figure out how to change the grey parts to black, MAN I need a Photoshop Book!Of corse I would paint the roof and trunk lid black as well as the rear bumper like the front.

Oreo, you should do a custom job, on the bottom black, then a creamy white color in the middle, then on top, more black.

How about just a racing stripe down the hood/roof/trunk? that'd be a little more traditional way. Or I could go with black & 2 white racing stripes & change my name to "Double-Stuff"
