Default How to paint a Dodge Charger body

Does anyone have any bright ideas. I have had the shell for aegis and its just been sitting in my cupboard. If anyone has painted one of these before post the pics. Any ideas will help.
I also have a Astra if anyone has any ideas for them please tell me.
For the dodge i was thinking about dark red with metalic orange flames.
For the Astra i was thinking blue with silver lightning bolts.
Cheers for any help.

Dodge Charger ... hmmm, for some reason that just screams out for an orange paint job of some sort. But maybe you guys didn't have that show over on the other side of the pond?

and put the black stripe the wraps around the trunk and on each side say r/t



the r/t shouldnt be too hard to cut out of masking tape with a hobby knife.

*didn't the charger have like an r/t option or something?*

I'm not so sure about that, but hey! your truck.

A good idea is finding a pic of the body on the 'net and go in MS paint and just throw down some designs.

There is only one way to paint the charger, Orange with an 01 on the doors and a confederate flag on the roof !!

If it was mine, then it would have to be a General Lee replica from the Dukes of Hazard

R/T was the ROAD and TRACK version basicly it came with the standard 440 magnum engine and maybe the optional HEMI (hemi is the way to go[>:]) (had a few other things to i just can remember right now)

(a nice blue R/T with the hemi and the black bumble bee stripe at the back is my dream car[>:][8D])

yes the classic orange looks awesome but i saw a sweet charger once it was painted really glossy black but when u look at it in the light a certain tone of dark red comes through with a few bits of chrome that will look amazing. but if thats too much GENERAL LEE still kicks booty
