Opinion needed! pain it red with black cage or all black?

Post by Nikdev » 08 Nov 2008 11:55 pm

I will be finished with the cage soon, so I need to decide what colour I should paint on the inside of the car.
Thought about all red with black cage? or maybe all of it black?

What do you think?

Or maybe a completely different colour?


Opinions are needed :D

my disgusting fwd french rally car is red with a black cage and I reckon it looks pretty good, though thats only because it was like that when I bought it. Get some red cage padding for it and it'd probably look even nicer.

Black cage...It will match the black detailing on the car and look tip top :D

Cage can be black or white or then it can be in car's colour, but any other combination is not pleasing my eye.

Black/red combination is something I would steer clear with great velocity, something in it is like pin under nail to my eye... hmm, why that sound bit funny? :lol:

Would it be possible to paint so that it looks just to be without cage? Sleeper looks sm87

They can do wonders at film studio, very good illusions with just little amount of paint ;)

But black is good too :lol:
