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.

Thumbs up 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.
Good Luck Man!

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...







This one is fun...

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

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.

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

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

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.
