How about blue/pink camo?





:lol2:

LOL No Thanks... Im Thinking Something More Of Just A Simple Design Nothing That Over Whelms The Car But Rather Accents It , I Simply Want To Incorperate The Pink Into The Car...

you could always do a "ghost" type image...one that can only be seen at certain angles. I've seen a lot of Ghost flames, but I'm sure it would work with other designs as well.

I was told that you can paint a candy paint on top of carbon fiber pieces...that may be another option for the hood, trunk, wing, mirror covers?

you may be able to get some ideas from the guys in the Malaysian forum. There is a guy there that runs a shop and has posted plenty of pics of the cars that he has done. He had a two-tone orange/black theme, and then changed it recently and had a tribla type grahpic down the side.

You can start with calipers and small stuff then work your way up, this way if you get tired of the pink its not the whole car, and is easily covered up :)


How about blue/pink camo?

Speaking of Camo whatever happen to the member who was going to paint theres blue camo we ever get some pics :)



:lol2:

Pink - Brake area, fender vents and then maybe something on the interior.

Could be pretty cool, or fugly. Hard to visualize.

pink and blue are clashing colors, they dont work very well together, i think the only way u can make this work is if you dont have large areas of both. Limit one to smaller areas or specific graphics. You can try it out with pink decals to see if you it works or not before you commit to paint.

Not unless you're the Easter Bunny.

the vinyl graphic idea is a good suggestion...a temporary/practice run. I would also suggest finding a third color to blend the blue and pink together...maybe a silver or grey.....because winning blue and pink are hard to see together.

There is a member who painted her calipers pink. You may want to search for her pics to see if you like the look. I dont recall which color 8 she had...I'm thinking silver.

Oh gurl, what are ya thinkin? Pink may not be such a gr8 idea.......Are you sure it has to be pink?

blue & pink? what? (and, i thought that that lightning yellow + green rx-8 that jedi found on ebay looked rancid...) well, at least u haven't installed louis vitton inlays... yet! <lol> well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder- even if u end up being the only one who likes the way it looks. good luck.


p.s. :rofl:

what about a stripe down the side similar to Signal Auto style

The Pink Calipers belong to a member named "pink flea" I'm sure she has pics posted. She has a brilliant Black 8 however, it looks pretty nice.

If you find any sort of computer program that helps give you ideas for paint jobs let me know. Photoshop doesn't ever look good enough for me. I used Need for Speed Carbon as a way to see what my car could look like with certain designs, but they were all too gaudy. I'd like a yellow/black theme but like you said, no flames, and no body stripes. I want something different. Good luck.

This is a company in the OC that specializes in car graphics. Many of these will look familiar to graphics provided to you in the Need for Speed series....reason is, they are modern image designs.

not a big fan of pink. I love painting and i can't really see a use for it on a car. Pink and white are good combos, tho.

Hey Guys, Thanks For The Input.. My Bf Does All Of My Custom Work, He Has Some Ideas That We May Try... Yes It Has To be PINK, LOL.. I Love Pink... Its Not Going To Be A Light Pink It Will Be More Like A Fuschia I Have A Couple Of Pink Stickers Already On The Car And I Get Compliments Quite Often.. I Am Doing The Accents In The Interior Pink Too.. As Well As Pink Inserts In The Seats...I Just Want Something DIFFERENT.. I Was Hoping You Guys Had Some Design Ideas.. And Again Thanks For The Input....

This is Kel Rx8's 8

I know this has no relation to your blue & pink combo but this is my favorite paint job sytle...with the black roof. (Other than ROCKSTAR RX8's paintjob :) )
