Opinions Wanted - Painting the XR4Ti (56k Beware)

I'm a fan of Black cars with Dark Grey stiping and accents. Perhaps this pic with car Grey with lighter/whiter outlining?

i love it. always thought Ford had very classy race livery for factory cars. my only concern is the stripe down the door. if you get someone rubbing their tire down your flank you'll have it all over one of the most key graphic elements on the side of the car. of course, that's how racing is anyway.

the flipside to this is that its a very basic, simple graphic. you could run a paint roller right up the stripe and viola, back to new :lol:

it may be a nice convenience that the items most likely to get ripped off would be white (bumpers, flares, rocker panels). if you get tangled up with another car, they will come off easily or be replaced easily while still providing you with some nice contrast.

Someone suggested this:

But... I want white instead of blue.

I spent a little trying to change it to white in Photoshop but didn't have much luck. If someone is bored today could you give it a shot?

Did someone hear something? I swear it's this nagging sound resembling Gol.. Wheell... something or other. Can't really make it out, but damn it's persistent!

When I die can I get my headstone painted gold? With gold spinners on the bottom?

Sweet! Thanks Scotty!! Really appreciate the time you took to do that. I'm going to try to add some stripes now :-).

loose the big stripe, put the vents back to black and put a single or double white racing stripe down the middle of the hood/roof/wing. Put the numbers back to black and a white meatball behind it, and yea, ditch the white wheels.
