How will you be going about painting it? Are the door jams and engine bay going to be red while the rest of the car is blue/white?

Have to say that there is nothing that looks better than a beautiful 1 color paint job if you want it to hold up over time.

Default not a 944 but...

Believe me, I've searched the internet for a two tone 944 and could find only race cars.

I was thinking of pearl white blending into polar silver or even a charcoal metallic black on the bottom.

The next best thing is a Corvette that Overhaulin' did a few years ago. It was gold over green.

I highly recommend getting a giant unicorn airbrushed on the hood.

Make the paint scheme simple yet elegant. Nothing too flashy. Nice cars get attention by simply looking good. With that said, I love the idea of the two tone. Especially with the colors you have chosen.

lightning may seem good in concept or in a JPEG but in reality it will look cheesy. If you like flashy, get an iridescent or pearlescent color. Those are very nice and ride the line between class and flash.

How about a wizard riding a unicorn...maybe out of a volcano (for dramatic effect).

Seriously, why mess with a car that is already a work of art. Less is more IMO.

Lightning bolts make the Porsche gods angry......
