Color ? Moriarty did his car White.
How about:
Start with different size Silver 'Flake panels.
Monster Flake,medium flake,Diamond Prisim Disco Flake,etc.
Outline the panels in Aluminum Leaf.
Then cover it in Green Candy.
Or paint it to match your bike.

That is, hands down, one of the coolest rides I have seen yet come off the HAMB, and there has been a plethora of cool rides since I signed on here.
Wow.

Fritz, that is real cool. You've come a long way with that car. I'd say color wise go with purple, green and silver to keep it UFO themed. Metalflake, pearls,etc. later plmczy

I didn't have time to add scallops, and this car needs a wild scallop panel paintjob, but here are a few base color ideas. Obviously flake and pearl is the way to go.
COPPER

GOLD

LIMEGOLD
http://fedora.net/falconaut/various/roswellrod/rozb_limegrn.jpg
PURPLE
http://fedora.net/falconaut/various/roswellrod/rozb_purple.jpg
I like the LIMEGOLD. One of the best colors EVER. And it would fit with the alien theme.
Stevie G
04-25-2004, 08:25 PM
Some combination of the LimeGold and the Purple.
That thing is wicked.

04-25-2004, 08:37 PM
Fritz, That thing looks so cool! GREAT job!
The first thing that came to my mind when i saw the first pictures was either purple or green.
Nick
purple
04-26-2004, 01:27 AM
<font color="purple"> OK, my computer isn't saving pics so I can't photoshop it. But....
As much as I love purple, you have a theme already set. So I vote for (ugh)...green. How about the metallic lime green with a dark green candy fogged along the bodylines. A fade kinda thing. </font>
Too cool man.
I wore your shirt at VLV and I had a few folks ask me if it was the same Fritz from Iron Horse. And some other folks knew about you.
I can't wait to see it done.
looking awsome Fritz!
love it!!
