Help choosing car color
 
Hey guys,
I want to know what is the best color for an integra which will only be used on a track..

I want the car color to stand out a little bit so I can get it noticed by sponcers, so help me out here..

I got some idea's

1- Same Orange color as the Evo

2-Baby blue with and Orange line down the middle like the Ford GT40 Gulf

To Photoshop a car, white is the worst base color, just to let you know ;)

BTW, IMO the best color for a trackcar is plain white LOL.. I feel it's a bit boring ;)

why is white the worst for photoshopping?

Evo 09-28-2004 10:59 AM

Yeah White is good for a track day car but it won't stand out.. And my car is Silver .. Any other suggestion TT.. Other than Black or White :mrgreen:

I would really like someone to photoshop that gulf blue/orange on the integra. I also think it would look good but I got that tiny thing that says it won't work.

Well, first of all, on a white car in most cases many lines are like flattened, they disappear when it's white and then well, when you paint a white car in PS usually you end up with a red/blue/green whatever car on wich you miss those details that were missing because of the base color ;)

Well, to get you noticed obviously as bright a colour as possible is gunna do the trick, but if your looking for sponsorship then i'd stay clear of the gulf colour scheme, as it may clash with sponsors logo's and it leaves less panel space for big stickers. A white car would be best for making simple graphics stand out, and easy to paint if you stuff it, or to touch up slight stone chips or tyre donughts!
What series is it your racing in?
Also if you have any ideas of prospective sponsers, then you should probably go for a colour that suits their graphics/logos. :)

I don't have any sponsers right now, I'm hoping to get some when the car is ready. The only company I'm sure I'll put their logo on the car is my own brother company which is orange in color. That's why I kind of like of thinking of something that got Orange in it..

This is how the Gulf theme would look vaguely ;)

I really like the orange in the Evo, altough it´s difficult to imagine how an Integra would look with this color :roll:

Evo 09-28-2004 03:22 PM
