I never thought hugger orange would look good on a third gen, but I was wrong. That looks great.

I used Adobe Photoshop 5.0. Its great once you learn all the tricks. All I did was adjust the color hue, but the tricky part is selecting only the car paint so you don't color evrerything else. I was bored, so I pasted the rims on there, too.

I think that might be a little dark for me. If ya'll don't mind, how about a daytona yellow?
Ward, I don't want the zr's cause there are a few around here alreadly with them. Now how bout a set of TTR2's?

Here's a quick 5-minute-done yellow. I could do better, but you get a sense of what it'd look like with this.

Thanks man, yellow will probably be my next color. I don't plan on that Maaco paint lasting to many more years. Still looks after a year though.
