That's a good example, looks nice but not sure it pops enough?

Having seen it like that do you think it's a little too subtle?

Yes can't go wrong with Mexico blue, very clean blue would look great with black trim too.

Maybe I should stick to a solid color with strong pigment, almost like a pure toner.

Can someone do me a favor and show me an example of blood orange?
thanks for help guys.

Ahhh! Decisions! Decisions! Decisions!
 
I really like the RSR's
We are doing a few of them right now.
We did a white and red one last year and that combo pops the most. IMO. We also did a white and black 76RSR that turned out nicely.
The C4RSR were doing will be white with blue. My 2nd favorite.
Were also building a 73 RSR race car it will be yellow and black.
After that were doing a Mexico blue and black one.

Man do what ya feel!
I changed my mind several times on the C4RSR.
What ever color you do RSR's are the ticket. :D
Good Luck Man! SmileWavy

There are pics of the ones we did and photo-shops on the others were doing.

another view of the Martini - and don;t think you could get away with a low key color with that car...

Hey is that Sunoco blue?
A little retro, looks good with with black trim, strong color and still stealthy.:cool:

Thanks RW the Hippy ship is way out there.;)
No track day :( at Sonoma this year so I'll catch up with you guys next time.

I like the classic RSR look Doc.
The lines on those cars are factory perfect, mine is a bit different.
So I might shy away from the factory RSR scheme.

Normally when I paint a car I give some consideration to resale.
It's not for sale and no one is going to buy it just cause it's their favorite color.
Besides after a few years of track time it will need paint again.
So might as well have fun with color.
Great photos thanks.:)

With the yellow/orange details showing through, this 911 made me think of a hastily-resprayed Taxi. But I've got to agree that the blue itself is awesome-looking.

andrewro 01-25-2006 03:58 PM

I voted for Sunoco but there's always flat black...

Ha ha they had to have heard that in the day!:D

Yes the satin black is the safe way if I can't decide soon. ;)

andrewro 01-25-2006 05:57 PM

I'm doing my '72 2002 in John Deere Blitz Black rattlecans. If it looks awful I'll get some real Blitz Black and shoot it at a friend's house.
