if u havnt seen my post about the Corolla i bought with my friend, we'll be prepping our '87 corolla for rally events. one of our projects will be to clean up as much rust we can and repaint the car. it'll be some time till we do that but we need ideas for a paint scheme. we'd like something kinda rallyesk i suppose, maybe multicolor but simple. also want it to work with our team name across the car.

heres one of my ideas i quickly made in paint...

got lazy with finishing the bumper but u get the idea. with a little more angle and larger decal going along the side and hood.

here original pics. if u need some better ones just let me know. i can take day time pics tomorrow if need be.

some logos we may stick on our car. place em where u wish, will be needing ideas for location for them aswell.

you could tint the windows and have "rubber duckie racing" go all the way from the middle of the door through the rear qarter window.

daytime pictures would be way easier and for sure if you want any kind of quality Bigger pictures would work better for someone to chop

hahaha calm down children. great chops erbody, keep them coming!! were still thinking up ideas ourselves. my co-driver was thinkin about an almost bare metal silver color with rivets sprayed on the body lines to make it look like an old fighter plane. im not really feelin that idea but w/e, if anyone could chop somethin like that up that'd be schweet.

We've actually been messing around with airbrushing rivets lately lol...I'll have to post some pics of them later. I think I'll take a crack at this little project when I get home from work.

I dont have acces to PS right now but what if you just painted the whole thing matte black with krylon? I'm assuming its gonna be taking a beating so why not keep it real with some cheap paint?

civicexracer

we'll be painting it with acrylic enamel paint, if u've heard of the $50 paint job thats what they use. were liking black the most because it'll be easier to paint/fix up and make yellow decals stick out more.

bump... we were playin with ideas on Forza2 today. red top and black bottom with "RDR" written on the bottom sidein a "fast" looking kinda font with the same wheels but in a color matching red.

heres what i made in paint real quick.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a158/civicexracer/Project%20Rally/paint%20scheme/a.jpg

could someone photochop something like this up? just want a better idea of what it'd look like with smoother colors and blends.

thank you!!
