AFP 2012 paint
Ok guys, I would appreciate your input here as I just can't make up my mind on next years race car colours !
The black and grey one was Lisa's effort, please don't just feel sorry for her due to her colour blindness and complete lack of style
I apologise for the poor quality pics off the telly but hopefully you get the idea.

The last one looks most professional, the others not so good in my opinion.
What about mclaren f1 style chrome paint? Tastefully done would look amazing.

Thanks for the feedback so far 
There are a few issues. The car will have the ABW lip arches on it and from what I have seen, they don't look good on White or Red cars. They do however look excellent on Silver cars, I think this is because of the bolt-on design looking metallic and white and red are more 'plastic' colours.
Which brings me to issue 2, silver needs a good flat surface in order to retain a uniform shade and all my panels are GRP, they currently look fine in white but I think silver would show all the slight ripples?
1st car was done by Skullfudge on here and the other 3 bodged on Forza by me

Hi Kenny
Absolutely, go for it! I would welcome any input and I'm really open to any colour schemes. Someone suggested i should run a competition with the winner getting a run up the 1/4m or similar, maybe a decent idea?
cheers

AnDy I'm sure there will be some awesome forza painters in here. You should possibly think about putting a dos and donts up and seeing what community creates
Maybe offer them a ride in your car as an incentive lol
