Track car design?? Camo?
 

My cars silver, boo :shakes head:, I wanted white. Not really many silver track cars I've seen. Not a fan of really any colors that go with silver like red or black. It pops to much for some reason in my mind. My last WRX was white, and black items just seemed to go better with it even though white is further from black than silver is. The only thing I kinda like is camo. Seems to be pretty popular too if you google camo cars. What's everyone think? Any silver base cars you have seen and like?

I also like camo because its something I can do on my own. A wrap gets pretty expensive so I was thinking have tons a vinyl stickers cut and I'd just place them around the car with my silver being the background. The evo would look most like it. Also I have to start protecting my paint!! The chips will get worse over time and a lot of vinyl stickers will protect it.

What are we in a war zone?

I always get frowned at for sayin' this, but for $300, you can dip your car camo and leave the silver base coat. It'll protect your paint and you can peel when your over it and want to change it up. I assume itll be cheaper then buying vinyl and hand cutting each camo spot.

You can do black, gunmetal, and maybe another type of grey or dark color to camo it with.



Good Luck

I honestly like digital camo a lot better than regular camo.. but that's just me.

No but track cars all have crazy bright designs so this would be no different.

Yeah I've seen it done but I like the more rounded camo vs only straight lines I'd be able to do with paint. I mean to tape rounded/jagged edges like in the pics would mean I'd have to cut the tape anywho vs cutting out the spots. Just seems like more work. 3M 1080 for 15sqft is around $40. So times 3 colors $120 isn't to bad. Easier to put on vs tape and paint but vinyl I no can be a bitch to pull off with the glue.

Oooooo that's perdy! Hard for me to do but I like the design!

I really like the look of camo racecars when I see them, but then I always also think it's kind of weird. I mean, the point of camo is to disrupt visual cues and make it harder to notice an object or notice exactly what it is. Sounds like exactly the opposite of the effect you want on the other track drivers (them not seeing you).

if you want to be different and seen, just put a huge pink hello kitty decal on there.

I know its not silver, but I think this guy pulled it off pretty well IMO.

It also looks real nice in person too!

Just swap the silver parts with white and you should be golden, if that's the look your going for.

pics of car right now?

Wow really? That looks good but I can only imagine the time with cutting and taping.

Lol true. But white in summer with green background should be good. If I DD in a winter snow storm, now that's another story!

Yeah I like that!! If I had to pick it'd be this or the gtr above. The evos spots never touch and the first BMW only has round curves. I want curves and sharp edges on the spots. Also I want this as it over laps all the spots on top of each other.

missing is the carbon fiber inlets for the cai's on each side of the nissan front bumper emblem, lowered and factory spoiler is gone as a Kognition or Ings GT wing will go on.

That's already been done. :icon14:

synolimit, if you are using plastic-dip. You don't have to masked off for the pattern. Only the glass and tires need it. I would use dark grays, black, and white over the base silver. Urban camo pattern. You could do the rims too.

Bahahahahahahahaha

I like the digital snow print as well, but that beamer pulled that off pretty clean, with the brown/bronze. You could just get a wrap, but have a camo print, printed, will cost $$$ though.

I'd have to mask off the patterns. It'd be no different than painting multiple layers of flames or something on a custom chopper or something. Tons of work.

Wraps are like 3-4k around here. Unless you do it yourself but that's still a lot in the wrap. 45 sqft of color is just costing around $117.

Roller brush.

I'm gonna come out and say it...

Camo with matte white and black will look retarded on a GLOSSY silver base


Just my opinion brother, do what you wanna do, I suggest plastidip in layers though. I think it will be easier all said and done

Don't forget dark grey too. Still thinking about matte or gloss vinyl.

Lol

Well I think gloss vinyl won't be an improvement, it will be all gloss, yes, but I think gloss camo might be weird, no?
Then again, I've never seen it, so you'll be the first

Yeah idk. I might do matte and just add more so vinyl is more sqft then the base silver.

brilliant silver is a cool color bro, id suggest saving the money for future mods.

:iagree::iagree:

Whats $117 haha

117 dollars is quite a sum.... its around 14;15 hours of minimum wage work. all i am trying to say is that for the camo too look rad i think it will be a bit more expensive. mind as well add a few benjamins and get test pipes or HFCs. go big or go home

Lol what are you smoking? Its nothing to me or anyone else that's modding their car! if I'm buying $800 camber arms, $1700 wing, $2000 coilovers, others buy $10,000 TT kits, what in the hell is $117?! I'm doing all the work. I cut, over lay the spots and cut again so it's not just building up on each other and $117 in vinyl. Period. Lol test pipes aren't going big. Their raspy *** $100 peices of pipes. I have long tube headers :tup:

I would worry more about actually getting on the track first... just sayin

O I am. Right now in fact. New 370z ice/snow league at mid ohio. Come join and total your car, I'll be the one laughing at you. :bowrofl:

what? can't handle a little ice and snow?
:facepalm: im sorry if I offeded you master of paper racing

If you're going to the track, I wouldn't paint your car grey/black. Paint it something that is easy to see for the other cars.

Hahahahhah

They'll be enough white and light silver. LED's and headlights help too.

Too funny! LMAO :D

My worry about sticker type camo would be the long term affect on the paint.

If you leave it on there for a while and the base silver fades over time, then want to take it off, it could leave bright shiny silver where it was covered before.

Same worry with stripes and plastidip parts. It may be removable, but will the paint difference be noticeable after its removed?

I think the major factors here would be how long your car would spend in the sun, rain, winter mess and how long you plan on keeping the pattern or the car in general.

:iagree: very true

Laminar airflow.. . :stirthepot:

Good call. My cars garage kept and work is a parking garage so only sun exposure is while driving. I plan to keep it so I'm not worried. Next buyer at some point when they take it off will have the issue if it happens.

Whats this in reference to?

you don't know?
