During a few moments of weakness (shame 'o' shame!) I've had some evil thoughts about change of color:
'member the ole mopars of the late 60's & early 70's...Lime Twist Green with dark cladding with the flat black hood insert...kind of barracudish. Maybe even a black strobe stripe swishing along the side below the side windows.
Then there is the negative, anti-matter opposite of the above....Black with Lime Twist Green cladding & hood insert either color. I got one of those VX Toys (Stomper) kind of painted like this with rally-inspired graphics.
I like desert camo too but specifically this (I have an RC buggy painted up like this!):

Toyota Tacoma's have a color called "Speedway Blue" that I like alot.
I keep thinking about that darn sick lowered VX that Wormgod created with Bimanti's Batman red pinstriping on the snout and.......make it stop...please!
So how much does a paint job cost usually? I figure around 3g's for a good one but that is an ignorant guess since all I’ve ever heard of is Macco for like 200. I REALY want an ebony. My next concern would be finding a really good shop that would screw up the cladding.
Keep in mind I'm basically talking out my butt because I can’t afford to pay bills little lone get a paint job. All hypothetical.
I've always wondered that if you do a complete color change....wouldn't you want to change the color of the engine bay (ie firewall, fender wells, under hood, etc..), inner door & rockers, and what about inner fenders and behind cladding????? Now that's gotta be 'spensive! Plus, to do a really good job wouldn't you want to remove the engine and some other key underhood components too? Looking at my engine compartment I see alot of things in the way of repainting the firewall in particular.Quote:

So here is another thought.

I like the green color, but I don't know how it would mix with the silver. I think all green might work....

Never been a great fan of painting the cladding tbh - it takes away a lot of the character of the VX.
I would have liked one of the burgundy ones or the dragone green. Khaki might be interesting but I wouldn't go cammo - you want folk to see the distinctive lines, don't you?
Black always looks good - you could always go for black with a metal fleck incorporated into it. I saw an NSX at a Jap car sow recently that was black with a gold fleck. Looked stunning! Might not be wonderfully practical off road though :-(

How about snow camo.. would look good this time of year
So what about a flat black with some sort of rising sun japanese theme?

Has anyone done a vinyl wrap of a VX? I was half-jokingly talking about it over in another thread.
