Red & silver?

I was ready for paint and had it narrowed down to black, silver blue or red.
Hope you have an easier time picking colors than I did.

[NHolds]

I have the standard blue and white. If I ever did another one, I would probably go Silver with Black Stripes.

id love to see that viper snakeskin green with black stripes on our car

[ehodger]

I really struggled with the color choice.Almost went with a dark red with silver stripes, but then I saw a red one in town and I wanted to be different so I decided gray with silver stripes.

another problem im having is do i do black powder coating on pipes n roll bar or go all chrome or do i do a mix of both. why is life so unfair

[sharkx]

Since I'm largely color blind, I went the route of all black with the exception of the chrome. If want a sinister look black is not a bad way to go:

I wasn't really thinking when I had my pipes coated that my roll bars were black, So now I have a chrome drivers side bar coming and will be on the look out for the passenger side. If I don't find one before this winter I will have mine sandblasted and chromed. It would have been a lot cheaper to re-coat the pipes black, but the wife said she liked them the way they are. so here I go, spending more money.

IMO pipes, trim and rollbar are like a business mans watch strap, belt and shoes. If one is brown or black so should all the other ones.

This winter I'm having the roadster painted and it will be matte white, thick white stripe and everything that is chrome will be powdercoated black.

Here's mine in Indigo Blue with Viper Silver. I saw a black one the other day with silver stripes and a red stripe on both sides of the silver stripes. That was beautiful.

Color choice was the hardest decision to make for me. I ended up going with Silver/Platinum w/ no stripes. I like the simply clean look ... but obviously, every person has their own unique likes/dislikes. It is yours! ... make it what you want ... that is what is cool about these cars.

Was the hardest thing to do...pick the color

[johntbrown]

Plain and simple, but the slight orange tint in the Viper Red makes it glisten in the sun.

This is me viper blue white stripes . I knew I wanted blue but what shade .looks different in in different light , seems to me to get darker and lighter. Anyone recognize those 2 guys working on the car ?? They did a great job ! Bob

[SIZE-O]

Deep Lava Red (Chrysler) and Urban Grey Affect (GM).



And depending on which way you look at it with different light

This was the hardest thing to come to a final decision on! (Heard that before?)

The only thing I might add is that certain colors sort of "fit" into certain eras, IMHO. For instance, if you want a car that looks like it's come through a time machine from, oh, 1965, bright orange or pop (Kawasaki) green don't fit-- those are early '70s colors. There just about weren't any metallic colors before the '60s, a lot of '50s cars had two-tone pastel schemes and silver (especially darker silvers) and black look more like the last two decades.

And nothing looks bad in British Racing Green, even a Pontiac Aztec would look decent in BRG.

[P Wyman]

I went with Jaguar Racing Green and silver stripes.



Love how it changes color depending on the amount of sun.



Good luck with your choice...

Stripes...we don't need no stinking stripes.

Great looking car. The tire and wheels really work. Who makes the wheels and what size? Also what size are the tires? Any problems with the fit?

Thanks
