Default What color to paint this?

I am getting this shell (Hot-Bodies Moorespeed Mazda 6 (190mm))



for my racing TA-05, and i am stuck as to what color to paint it.

I will probably use Tamiya spray paints, unless some-one can point me in the direction of others, in the UK.

If anyone has one of these body shells, or any other mazda 6 / dodge stratus please post pics.

Those bodies are super sick. Have you ever looked at the bodies for the sportwerks recoil pro? Well here are three colors that will go good IMO is yellow(lighter than mustard),White, Lighter purple(between purple and pink), and neon orange with carbon fiber or black.

All the colors i said came from this car: http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...ProdID=SWK1460

I am thinking of making it police car style now, yellow and silver squares with a white main colour or maybe black.

Can you please post any pics which are to do with police cars, or any existing police car shells.
