Looking for some opinions...

I have the R15 firehawk wheels on my formula currently, and I am thinking of painting the windows. I'm stuck between charcoal or red, I am going to use plasti dip at first since its easy to remove if I don't like it.

Here is the car as it sits:

The car has looked the same for so many years, it needs some freshening up.

Re: Looking for some opinions...

The red is cool if you are going to get an exact color match. I'm not sure if you are going to get that with plastidip.

If the color is going to be off, I would vote for charcoal.

I will color match it when the car goes into the body shop to get the spoiler painted and some touch up work, the red plasti dip would be temporary to see if I like the look. I think the Red will look a little too 80's, I think the charcoal would give it a more modern look

Re: Looking for some opinions...

Why would you have to Plasti-Dip them red to see how they look when you already know what they look like on other cars? Anyhoooo... I like the way they currently are.

BTW... I like the red and charcoal accents too. You really can't go wrong either way.

After looking at the charcoal ones again, I think I like that theme the best.

Its one thing to see them online, its another too stare at it in my garage at least for me. I'm afraid the red would grow old quick, but i think it would fit the car.
