color me rodd

Take a long look at this beauty. And tell me, sir: Ain't this one of the most bitchinest model a coupes in a long time? Sinister as hell. With a stance to scare the shit outta school girls. And still, there's something missing. No it's not the glass. It's the paint. Sure it's got some primer on it. And this is where the problems start. In fact, AndrĂ©, my buddy from Frankfurt, owns this thing and he can't decide about the color. I can't help him either. This thing is looking so mean just in plain ol' primer. So why paint it, you're asking? Well, you know. Some things just have to be done. They have to be finished. So, if you happen to have an idea about the perfect color, drop us a line, post a comment or whatever. But don't suggest to paint it black. There's nothing wrong with black at all. It's the perfect hot rod color. But hey, there's gotta be something else. Are you up for the challenge, batman? P.S.

  7. a warm white [but not cream, keep it white] with a very fine accent colour - a barn red, or even a copper for subtle linear pin striping.

    Alternatively, white, with that zinc chromate green on the firewall - but may not go well with black motor.

    not the yellow / gold, but more of the green:

  8. actually, that zinc green on its own would go really well with all the dark, and keep it looking sinister. you just need enough gold/ yellow to keep it from looking too "army"
