Painted Cladding?

Wondering if anyone's considered painting their cladding? I am considering the possibility of painting my proton's cladding orange (when i get it). It would look something like this:

I updated the photoshop rendering and added a painted black cladding option, too. What do you guys think?

No offense but that look horrible... I picture clowns coming out of that... blah.

i think its a little too.......bright......

Dont be offended, but it really does your VX no justice in my mind.
Have you tried other colors?
Maybe post the other choices to the group!
I know I'd love to see them,

perform a search on my posts - not too long ago I posted a link to a site that shows a few VX's with painted cladding .....

First thing that comes to mind... Skittles, the bite sized candy!

No offense... that's definitely something different!

do what you want with your VX, unique styling to the next level is awesome. I'd experiment with colors in photoshop, I can see orange in a hot desert type place, just not here in Michigan...:p

If you go with orange then you must change the proton yellow to white or something. Not that it a bit to much, it's just too....too....kinda.....well..........how's the weather there?

I live in Miami - Hot hot hot. Yellow & orange would definitely fit the weather here.

My real reason for considering the color combo is that my company's colors are proton yellow and bright orange. I don't think my photoshop rendering does the orange paint color that I'm thinking about very much justice. I would work on it significantly more and get different angles prior to considering actually doing this.

Here are a couple of VX's with painted cladding:

I updated the image. Any more thoughts?

If your gonna offroad at all I'd suggest trying to color match line-x. It wouldn't be shinny like paint, but it would probably get the effect you want. That way it wont crack peels or chip. I know somone did blue line-x on their kaiser, but I can't remember who. Colorwise, I personally think its way to bright, but hey its your truck.

IMHO.. I dont mind so much the orange/yellow look but you'd have to be very careful what shade of orange you choose. I would change out all the yellow markers to clear lenses as well.

.... Just like I think you want it to look. I am sure you will enjoy it ;eeko; Welcome to the club, now pardon me whilst I put on my shades and apply SPF 90 sunscreen before taking another glimpe at your chosen color scheme :cool: DAYUM that's brite :deado: Enjoy your VX, and make it your own, Lord knows the rest of us have :luck:

transio, maybe if the cladding was not so day glow orange... more like this looks a little better...kinda looks like a fruity drink.
