So I shopped up a mockery of the paint job I think I want on my Formula. What do you guys think?

Opinions on paint schemes are very subjective. Please keep that in mind when you read my (and other's) comments.

I have a Formula (red) and it has a black hood (with vents). However, I don't like the black extending down onto the nose in the manner you've depicted. I also don't like the black on the roof. Is the entire decklid black, or just the wing? I might like what you've envisioned more if you remove the black from the roof but make the entire decklid black.

Everyone will have a different opinion.

Ehh, I say no.

Not my cup of tea!

Have you got some clear coat issues on top you are touching up?

Im not feeling it at all either. Looks like a car made up of other cars parts. If you want to go the 2 tone route similar, but dont want the typical break at the molding, try putting a line on the fenders and quarters that matches the bottom of the side windows. Paint that top black, and below white...id even add a 1/8-1/4 inch pinstripe at the break line to enhance it. I think that would look pretty good and make the car profile 'look' lower.

I like the design, but not black. Maybe a light sky blue (#81F7F3) , or a dark deep blue (#0404B4).

I vote thumbs down.

Revised with rogergarrison's ideas. I like this a lot. What about with an additional red pinstripe?

Black only:


Red:

I was playing around with photoshop also, looks like we all decided to do basicly the same thing with covering more of the roof.

I like these better. Something else you might consider is keeping the rear wing white (but paint the wing stands black). Something break up the design so it's not just a wide black stripe covering the top of the car. The edges coming over the fender does that. It makes it a little more interesting. Play around with a few different ideas. You may stumble across something you like a lot better than what you originally envisioned.

Try Black from the molding up and "White" on the bottom.....And the all the molding all the way around in Red.

This is getting a bit pic-heavy, so here's a link to what fierogtlt1 described: http://imgur.com/o5FGFRM
