Track car design?? Camo?
 
My cars silver, boo :shakes head:, I wanted white. Not really many silver track cars I've seen. Not a fan of really any colors that go with silver like red or black. It pops to much for some reason in my mind. My last WRX was white, and black items just seemed to go better with it even though white is further from black than silver is. The only thing I kinda like is camo. Seems to be pretty popular too if you google camo cars. What's everyone think? Any silver base cars you have seen and like?

I also like camo because its something I can do on my own. A wrap gets pretty expensive so I was thinking have tons a vinyl stickers cut and I'd just place them around the car with my silver being the background. The evo would look most like it. Also I have to start protecting my paint!! The chips will get worse over time and a lot of vinyl stickers will protect it.

I always get frowned at for sayin' this, but for $300, you can dip your car camo and leave the silver base coat. It'll protect your paint and you can peel when your over it and want to change it up. I assume itll be cheaper then buying vinyl and hand cutting each camo spot.

You can do black, gunmetal, and maybe another type of grey or dark color to camo it with.

I honestly like digital camo a lot better than regular camo.. but that's just me.

No but track cars all have crazy bright designs so this would be no different.

Yeah I've seen it done but I like the more rounded camo vs only straight lines I'd be able to do with paint. I mean to tape rounded/jagged edges like in the pics would mean I'd have to cut the tape anywho vs cutting out the spots. Just seems like more work. 3M 1080 for 15sqft is around $40. So times 3 colors $120 isn't to bad. Easier to put on vs tape and paint but vinyl I no can be a bitch to pull off with the glue.

I really like the look of camo racecars when I see them, but then I always also think it's kind of weird. I mean, the point of camo is to disrupt visual cues and make it harder to notice an object or notice exactly what it is. Sounds like exactly the opposite of the effect you want on the other track drivers (them not seeing you).

if you want to be different and seen, just put a huge pink hello kitty decal on there.

I know its not silver, but I think this guy pulled it off pretty well IMO.

It also looks real nice in person too!

Just swap the silver parts with white and you should be golden, if that's the look your going for.

Wow really? That looks good but I can only imagine the time with cutting and taping.

Lol true. But white in summer with green background should be good. If I DD in a winter snow storm, now that's another story!

Yeah I like that!! If I had to pick it'd be this or the gtr above. The evos spots never touch and the first BMW only has round curves. I want curves and sharp edges on the spots. Also I want this as it over laps all the spots on top of each other.

missing is the carbon fiber inlets for the cai's on each side of the nissan front bumper emblem, lowered and factory spoiler is gone as a Kognition or Ings GT wing will go on.

That's already been done. :icon14:

synolimit, if you are using plastic-dip. You don't have to masked off for the pattern. Only the glass and tires need it. I would use dark grays, black, and white over the base silver. Urban camo pattern. You could do the rims too.
