Red and Yellow paint

Anyone mix bright red and yellow paint? If so how did to turn out? Post pictures if you have any. I am thinking of this option, but too much time thinking and the brain is fried, well it is normally that way!!

Last car I seen like that was the Interceptor and Pursuit Ford Falcons from the Mad Max. That and this ugly 90s Mercury 4-door sitting on 24's higher than my yukon and painted yellow with blue superman decals and red trim, rims where blue and yellow or red an yellow or something. I devloped a twitch since seeing the ugly crap.

It wouldn't look bad if something divided the 2 colors like a small white pinstripe, going back to mad max.

if you told how you wanted the color i might can do a photochop for you.

that ronald mcdonald maro... omg... its all good to be different... but there is no need to sacrifice all style and looks, dont take the easy way out... design something that looks good AND is different. much harder i know, but worth it. thats just my opinion though, it holds no wieght, it is all whether the OWNER likes it. and if he does, kudos.

as for you

if you did your car yellow with red heritage stripes down the center, i think it would look nice...

anything other than that would start getting crazy, and i'd think about changing one of those colors

there is one by my house but i dont see it often... been awhile...

i think the dude stores it or maybe it doesnt run? but its red and yellow.

if i remember right, the front half of the car from the front bumper to the middle of the roof/doors is red while the back half from middle doors/roof to rear end is yellow. the two paints are split in the middle of the car with like a zig zag lighting bolt. its not all that bad but again, not something i would do. it is however probly the best way to mix red and yellow together.

the only other way i can think of is red with yellow racing stripes, or maybe yellow wheels like a older viper RT10?

WOW!! Looks interesting!! I can say that I would not like to go that route. It is most certainly different. I would like moterella sticks instead of fries!! Never really thought of red with yellow racing stripes!!!!

changing subject...

how about the green and yellow lumina on days of thunder?

Had a yellow front end and a gradient effect that faded into green. with a green chevy symbol on the hood?

"I'm dropping the hammer!"

Loved that movie growing up...
