Go back to silver with the black top and forget about any silly striping or graphics!!! Thats when your car looked the coolest!
less is more!

actually Rob my original car is staying black for now. Jennifer will be racing it this year and I am going to focus on the new car. that's the car that I would like to see how it would look with some different colors or maybe several colors at once. Been looking at some reds and factory golds but having trouble picturing what it will be. A buddy of mine said paint the first one back silver and the new one gold, but that would be too much like the tankersly cars(which I do love) but don't want to copy. thanks Rob

So, my Black 70 is now faster than your Black 70? How long may I have that honor?

Paint them both identical! I wanted to do that with caroles car but she didn't like that idea. Now that I think about it, I guess that would copying my Idle/hero and his sons car...

NO RED!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually, a very cool looking color on that car would be the Dodge dark metallic blue used on mid 2000 mini vans...seriously. Its the perfect blue in my eyes that looks awesome in the sun. You just have to look past the idea that its on a minivan. I can get you a paint code if you want. I still have Caroles 2005 caravan (totaled by her daughter last month) sitting in the driveway. Hell, I'll cut a piece of metal off it and send it to ya.
Throw a couple small silver or if you must, red, stripes/graphics on it and it would look awesome.

Those dark blue Chrysler vans looked pretty serious in the second Bourne movie. It is a great color!

There is or was a "basic" paint designer on IPhone ap store using DuPont paints in close to exact colors....saw a demo, but I don't think it covers a lot of custom designs (like trick paint) other than multiple base colors iirc.

You could pick body style from stock..maybe a dozen cars or so.

They may have it on line for a computer also, I don't know...and cant remember the name....auto paint designer or something. Might use "DuPont" in there to find it.

Well hell. I still gotta leave first. But don't blink your eye.

I might come down to Benton just for a side by side time run.
