I like the idea of red with black decals. But that's just me...where are they having you take it to get it painted?

Id do the Red with black decals also because it'll be more stand outish for shows. Which is what you want if your trying to get your car noticed for the shows youll be entering. If it was an everyday driver then I'd swing the other way... a little more toned down but still classy keeping people wondering whats under the hood ...Let us know what you end up doing!

Personally I'd go with black basecoat and red decals then go completely outlandish on the look to attract the attention instead of the colors. But that's just me I myself am doing black base blue secondary.

That's a hard one, i can see both of them working out. Personally I think I'd go with the red paint with black decals cause I think the decals woudln't stand out as much. Then it's a part of the paint job rather than that being all you look at cause the red would stand out a lot on black paint. I'd think about doing a little bit of a darker red if you wanted to do the black, I like a car's paint and exterior to be a singlular thing rather than this with this on it, if that makes any sense.

Don't do a half assed job on the paint or it will ruin the whole car. If you don't have money to paint it now do the decals on what color you already have. The actual painting isn't hard it's the prepwork and keeping everything clean while you're doing it that's the hard part. If you have access to a paint booth or if you're friend really knows what they're doing and has a place to do it go ahead but I'd hold off for a while rather than do a mediocore job.

Yeah, i'd go with the black and read too! I saw an SRT-4 last night, black with yellow, it really stuck out from everything. Looked very good. Everybody has there own style, go with what you like.
