    refinishing vx

    Well, i decided to refinish my proton yellow vx paint and cladding.
    I'm going to paint the vx yellow and top it with ice gold pearl
    it should look something like this or I might tone the color up abit.


    I don't know if I should do the cladding in black or dark charcoal?
    What do you think which I should do?
    Could someone photoshop a proton with the two cladding colors for me?
    Thanks in advance.

    We just got new carpet at work. Later, the guy who picked it out told us he was colorblind so be careful: Warning, do not watch if you suffer from motion sickness.

    However, I agree - dark charcoal!

    In addition; your colorblind co-worker guy should now be in a wheel-chair, after you have broken both of his legs!!! That carpet is horrible and gives me a headache. Argh.

    P.S.-- As others have said, go with the Charcoal color on the cladding.

    I like the idea of sending you thru the wheel/tire thread. For example, you would have found this charcoal-cladded proton...



    I also remember an ALL proton that I liked quite abit in there. Didn't find it on a quick perusal tonight though.
