Default am i going mad

i am going to get my car resprayed as the last respray it had is pretty awful,
been thinking of maybe being a bit different and going for a totally different colour like maybe bright orange
fmic will be here today and also ordering a set of white 18" tarmac alloys,
intend on a proper paint job with engine removal etc just wondering on your thoughts
will call this a major project renewing most parts with uprated as the engine has recently undergone a 7k build consisting of everything.
if i get a pic up could someone photoshop it with colour change and the white tarmac alloys on??

fmic just turned up

Agree...go for pearl white as on the new Skyline R35...look awesome especially when the street lights hit the body at night.

Bright orange, green, pink etc looks absolutely nasty imo

go for something with a touch of class.

a pale blue or white with a hint of liliac would also look cool, soething subtle that changes with sun light would be totally cool.

saw a "tango" orange one on the weekend with a funky subtle metal-flake finish in it .... looked awesome

The one i fancied was a tvr i saw last summer with a mother of pearl style job on it that looked breathtaking in the sunlight .... quite liked the idea of that until 1) i realised what it'd cost lol! and 2) not sure if the scooby's got enough curves on it to make the best of a paintjob like that

personally do think the oranges and greens suit though ..... do it do it do it!!!!

Going from white to colour in PS is tricky, so these are just quick efforts;
