I have posted this in the general section too, but thought you guys might not see it and may be able to help too.

I am currently building a car and it's rapidly getting to paint time. I was going to paint the car in the white with motorsport colours through it but that is becoming quite common on track......

I am therefore reconsidering my options.

1. 997 GT3 RS orange with orange interior and cage
2. 997 GT3 RS green with black interior

Both of these colours will be conbined with some black. Maybe a black bonnet, roof and boot.

Another choice is this one, it looks great in the flesh. Again maybe some black with it, or maybe an orange bonnet roof and boot

Before I start going mad with photoshop what else is out there that you have seen and have pictures off?

Your help would very much be appreciated.

This is the current thinking

Obviously these pictures were taken before work started on the car. The rear spoiler not yet fitted will be in orange, as will the interior.

An orange spoiler will change the look at the back and a ring sticker on the front will change the look of the bonnet.

I'm probably going for a dark blue (from Audi RS6) with black bonnet and boot in bare carbon. Depends how much bodywork it needs; if it's not too bad it'll stay white but if there's much welding and spraying to do then i'll change the colour.
