Looks pretty dang snazzy! But I'd agree that the comp orange is a cool color, but is darker by contrast than the fluorescent racing red. Decals will draw some of that away though 8)

on the t2 body, it almost looks like they used the same red as on the back of the body to do the fade with the yellow. but it could just be the lighting.

i've always liked the comp orange/daytona yellow fade. but it definitely stands out against the fluoro red. ah well..... maybe i'll do another one for it down the road.

That last buggy body is simple, but complicated at the same time. A lot going on there without being tribal( :roll: ). Great scheme. 8)

I felt like laying some paint today, so I shot the body for my b1.5 #2. But, i wasn't feeling all that creative. :lol: So i basically used a layout from a truck body in the Andy's thread that I always liked.
