What do you think of this color concept?

<img src="http://gallery.in-tch.com/~link/newpaint.jpg">

So what do you guys think? I was trying to think of something that would look original for when I put my ground effects on.

I had to photoshop that a little bit to make it look like Vision gfx, but thats pretty close to what it should look like.

edit: oh btw, this is not actually my car... just one with the same blue paint.

I dont really like it, could just be the shade of green though. I think a gray or silver would look pretty good to go with the hoodbird/wheels/interior.

I could really do without the music. That color scheme won't work- the blue over green. It looks unnatural. It has a toy look about it.

Good point. It's not 1987 any more.

I'm not too fond of either posted pic. Why don't you paint it all solid body color? That would be your best bet.

I had more fashion sense at age 6 and I still would not have worn that combo. They just don't match. Those shades are the wrong kind for them to look good. I might look better if the green had a bit more blue in it and there was a fade strip to blend it it.

If you answer yes to this, then you may like that paintjob........other then that i really don't like it....

You like blue and you like green.......just mix the two.......and paint the entire car "teal".........

I like it a lot fade... i really think it looks badass. Very interesting choice of colors. Its unique because you wont see many, if any other third gens out there like that. If you like it, then paint it. Doesnt matter what the guys on here say.

Take it easy,

LOL at the music

I think the paint scheme is ugly.. Me personally i like a full blown 1 color car, except for some stripes, but thats just me. I would go with just a full blue car or with silver GFX.. but its your car so you should do whatever u want.

I didn't add the sound... you can all thank Jza for it. =P

An easy solution to this is to mute midi sounds in the windows volume controls.

okay, NO NO NO AND NO try to think of the cars paint, as what color combos you would where, red and pink? the hells wrong with you? teehee but with all seriousness, red and silver is nice, but the best would be blue and silver if you like the two tone look, me personaly i like my GTA one solid color (mettalic red)
