EVO paintjob idea - feedback please
Since my microsizer EVO came with a clear body, I have been brainstorming ideas for a paintjob, and here is what I came up with so far:
The body will be gray or silver, I'm undecided on this. I want the color scheme to look similar to the rear end of the car at the bottom of this page (the one done by Payaso).
On the hood would be the Mitsubishi logo done in gloss black. It would cover most of the hood.
I am not sure if I should tint the windows or leave them clear; if I tinted them, it would be done in black.
Also, I would do my best at including small details, much like Payaso did on his. I may also do a black spoiler, I can't decide if it should be body color or not.
Please post feedback, positive or negative. This will be my first paint job on one of these, and I need all the help I can get.

It sounds all good except for one thing. If by "Mitsubishi Logo" you mean the diamond star, it should be red, not black.

that is what I was talking about, however I personally think that black would look better on the car. I'm going for a more laid-back looking car. What does everyone else think, should the logo be black or red?
thanks guys

The only reason why I say red over black is because the original color of the diamond star was red. AFAIK, it still is.

Personally I don't think it should be red, unless you want it to look like a giant sponser decal. I think the diamond star in a color the accents your body color would be a good way to have a nice unique graphic that represent product identity.
Just my 2 cents.

I agree with crazydave red would probably be a little too flashy (unless thats what you want, of course ).

Another thing to consider is that the black may not show up in pictures very well.

Thats exactly what I was thinking, I was hoping to make it look like a graphic that you would see on a real rice-burner.

why dont you make it silver if the bodys grey or make it grey if the body's silver. or make it a ghost logo. like make the body grey and for the logo make it a little bit lighter grey. thatll be cool.
just my 2.5 cents

heh, rice cookers usually dont have a lot of stickers on them... most sleepers just look bland
but if you're intent on the mitsu logo, i'd say red's a little loud on a silver/black car.. so black ^__^
