I'll try to stay positive.
It's salvageable.

If the blue up top would have continued all the way down to the bottom of the car it would look good.

I kinda like it...but I would recommend finding a name for the car and putting something on the doors to break it up a bit

The neighbor says thanks.
This one may grow on me.........it looks alright , but I agree that it needs some lettering or a slew of decals to break it up.
And I am a self professed one color kind of guy.
It isn't fugly.......far from it.
The contrast in colors , despite of their relationship to each other , is pretty loud.
It might be as simple as some striping between them to soften it.
Like I said.........not horrible , just not my cup-o-tea.

I believe the 'yellow' should be 'silver' with something like a 'white' or real light color stripe instead of the (appears) red stripe to break the color transition... I like all the colors,,just not so much all at the same time.

Zactly what I'm thinking.

You could paint it any color you want with that e.t. and I'd still dig it.

I know how tough it is to come up with an unique paint scheme.. But I like it.. I'll give ya a thumbs up



I'm in the middle of trying to paint my car and have been procrastinating due to my uncertainty on the paint colors/scheme..
