    Ok I'm back, week two of my color change lol. Gotta love Plastidip cheap and effective.

    Here was my inspiration for the new project,


    I'm a big fan of loud colors and contrasting colors so I decided to go with a color close to the pics and I came up with this,


    I liked it and it was BRIGHT. I mean very BRIGHT. Just wanted to specify that for anyone that wanted to try the Plastidip blaze orange product.

    Heres the final job



    The contrast in the colors are very apparent lol.

    Heres another,


    I've been getting compliments every since I've changed the car. Even had a few guys offer to buy it.

    Hope you guys enjoy my random color changes lol.

    Oh here is a close up wheel pic

    I really dig it. Now THAT is doing something different. The colors accent each other nicely and definitely grab your attention.

    I couldn't tell what you did. All I see is orange. Did you find a chunk of the sun and just slap it on the car or what?

    It is definitely BRIGHT. Not bad considering, I liked the gold on the blue better, but I'm not for AHHHHHHHHH LOOOOOKKKKK AAATTTT MEEEEEEEE color combinations.

    Lol, it was supposed to be an eye grabber. The car scene is different where I'm from. Its more of a custom paint big rims kinda city lol. I like neither so I try to change mines up from time to time. Just trying new things and seeing how I like it and let's not forget, its Plastidip easily removable. I've done this so many times I get a discount from the local Plastidip guy lol

    i think you can get an orange arrowhead from somewhere.
    also, i think it would be cool to either debade or paint your badges with the plastidip.
    lookin good bro!

    i like the color scheme but i dont think it suits a GP. at least not on those wheels, not without being retarded low.

    I didn't like it on any of the above cars, and certainly not yours. Should have stuck with the gold. Just saying, it looks 10x better.

    Gotta experiment to see what looks good right? I actually like it. Nice and loud like I Intended. Eye grabber lol. If it doesn't get sold I'll just change to another color! I love you Plastidip lol.

    Reflective Concepts could probably do orange for an overlay. Now just slam it to the ground!
