Yeah i have no clue. but i want my car to look as fast as it goes! Its a mambad 7700 xxx-s, you guys got any ideas as what i can do for colour(s) on the body? keeping in mind that im not the greatest painter and i have acess to like only the tamiya spray cans.

Id go with white at the front and fade to a yellow at the back, because yellow and blue (your decals) go together quite nicely!, and the fade would look really nice, and it would stand out, my 2 cents!

I don't know if you would want to do it but I used glow in the dark paint on my body. Not the hole thing, just on one of the designs. I have a pic of it on my gallery. It's the blue edges on the top of it. It's nice too, the paint goes on clear so I could just spray it over my design without ruining it.
