i like it!!! traditional 2-tone but not. i have had bad expierences with a mid-coat silver pearl over silver... looks "blotchy".... i would suggest some spray-outs to see if it gives the effect you are looking for. for the super bright orange....look at HOK tangelo... has a gold pearl in it...and doesnt get much "brighter"

Are you going to have a 4" cowl hood?

I think that's an awesome paint scheme. I would leave off the lettering however...no matter how ghosted it would be.

I would have to agree. How about a darker silver for the bottom? Best bet is to pay the bucks and have Kris Horton to a rendering. You can then change the color scheme from one end to the other with little effort or additional cost and end up with a better color selection.

Roger's got a point. Though you seem to have the basic design down, I could help you check it out from different angles and work on the lettering. Not trying to post a shameless plug or anything, but if you want to be sure on the paint scheme and not spend all your money getting it painted only to find out you would have liked it different, I might be the way to go.

There are other artists too though. McBride does awesome work as do others. With me you'll get a more precise preview of the paint perhaps.

Looking good either way man!

well as far as i know its a saleen color... been around a few years, its a popular color on S7's. i will see if i can find the actual name...or better yet a code for ya. (i guess that nasty mustang habbit of mine IS good for something

)

I'd tone down the lettering or leave it off. Maybe 1" high letters max, if you really want to put it on.

Overall, I really like it

That looks sweet!
