    so. Most of you know I was in a fender bender, I have enough paint and clear left over to just say "fuggit" and paint out the whole car.

    I was thinking a simple camo design.
    Blue camo.

    What do you guys think?

    Try digital white snow camo. So no one sees you in the winter.

    I would go with foiling(sp). Wrap the whole car in a sticker. I really want to do it, but cant find a place that can do it.

    after much thought and not wanting to tear out the complete car...
    i'm probably going to do the white camo design in variants of blue.

    too much tear down and build up for a complete change over.

    I like design three and four. I voted for blue camo just because of how easy it would be to do since the rest of your car is already wrb. Makes more sense.

    was playing around with the hood scoop today.
    layed on the first color, didn't feather sand it smooth.. but heres a good idea of the darkest color in the camo.

    was dark out so the pic is crappy.. just hit it with the wax / degreaser and snapped a pic.

    Have you considered painting the rest of the car to match the fender-bent bits? It'd be way less hassle in the long run...

    Awesome idea to paint it camo. I personally like the white snow camo idea. I prefer the digital camo to the traditional 3 color. but to each their own.

    more pics pls.

    I apreciate the concern over my abuility to paint. I asure you my car will take paint just fine. I painted the valve cover perfectly fine, and have never had paint do what it's doing on that cover. Which would be my first fouled paint I've ever shot. The factors are endless why it slightly pulled on the torqe joints.
