I would go with crome. That would look so sweet. But then that is me. With those colors I would go with midnight black or pearl white.

Kawasaki green would actually compliment the other colors nicely...i think that would be awesome actually. Out of the colors you listed, i say pearl white. Have fun with that and make sure to get some pics up after its done

Ya, im still thinking some form of white. Almost decided totally on the pearl white. One thing! I can add sparkle. Not the kind of sparkle on a pearl color. I mean hot rod sparkle. Maybe i'll do that, then spray the pearl white behind the hot rod sparkle. Ya, im pretty set on that... I'll go with the sparkle white on the back... Be back in a while with more pics... With the protective coating off this time.

Looks pretty good. I'd have done a darker grey or something, to make the flames pop more, since you already have white. But, that's my own opinion. :P Still, looks good.

to be honest i think it will look better when the white at the back has the dirt of the track on it...with the spray line of dirt from the front tire

I need to see it in person...I love old school thick chunky Hot Rod sparkles...

I wish you could paint flat black on an RC body...

Ya, it will stand out for sure on the track. Im happy with the fades, and the overall design on this one. I will say the edges of the flames are not as nice as i wanted, or as nice as i trimmed. Thats because the liquid mask was tooooo thin. Basically LM becomes a royal pain to remove when its thin, and has paint on it. Arrrrrghh.. I kept my cool though, and finished it up. Im going to buy more colors, and start working on a nice racing theme for Noreaga. His body is planned to have less of a hot-rod flamed look, and more of a race inspired design.

Yeah, it's better than Parma's....the last time I used Parma I threw the half-fulll bottle in the garbage after having a hell of a time peeling the excess off without dragging the edges up.
