What! Lindbergh crossed the Atlantic...and I thought he was all talk.
After my wife and I got married, It took over six months before we hung anything up on the walls. Being both designers didn't make it any easier. We had two completely different styles and was afraid that the other just would like it. Someone finally said "It's not permanent! You can change it if you really hate it" By the end of the weekend, every wall was complete!
Pick your colors and start sprayin! It's going to be cruzzin time soon.

Interior, I was in Circuit City...in the auto electronics section they have the display area done in a brushed satin stainless steel look that changes at different angles....Sure would look great on the door panels and dash area Cory!
Back to the Future, eh?
Then get a license plate that says "McFly"
The Delorean look would be cool..........

Hmmm. Who can actually FIND the aforementioned aluminum-looking paint? We have less than four days -- assuming the guy's on time.

Anybody ever shoot at clay pigeons?
It's like that here for me this week on the paint thing.
Good idea? PULL!
Up it sails, not a care in the world.
BLAMMO. The West Coast blows it away.
LeMans? PULL!
BOOM! Italy fires off with a Vespa.
Silver and orange? PULL!
POWEE!
Chrome Yellow? PULL!
RATTATATTATAT!
(Shucks. I might have to make my own darn decision.)

With that speedster styling....Chrome yellow and be done with it, anything goes with it and a super eye catcher too.
Go with the Delorean paint then have rivets airbrushed along the seems of all of the body panels. Maybe even paint a pin-up girl on the hood or fender skirt!

cory , mirra chrome will add about 2 weeks to your down time on the paint job , not to mention the cost , go to alsacorp.com ,they have all kinds of crazy paint available including colors that change with heat .
Cory, I've been throwing a lot of wild ideas your way, but seriously, do what YOU like. So far your tastes have been hard to argue with. I DO think a solid color with no adornment would be a bit dull on top of the gorgeous engineering. The Wiley Coyote emblems, and possibly some stripes are good ideas IMHO. Since we've eliminated the Gulf color scheme, you seem to lean toward silver. Your suggestions of silver and the thin/thick contrasting stipe is a good one. One of the stripes (probably the thin one) should be orange to tie it in with the frame. Dark or medium blue for the thick one works well. Myself, I tend to prefer symmetrical stripes, but that's just me. The base color of the car just needs to be something you like that goes well with your stripe colors. Even white would work - actually quite well.

I've been out for a while. So what did we decide Stainless Steel and Black Stripe?
Former Member
As it stands now, it's a toss-up.
I dunno. This will likely be a 10-year paint job, so I want to really make my mind up, first. I'm wavering between silver and silver with stripes.
Black is out, LeMans is out and the aluminum paint is prohibitively expensive.
