Yellow wouldn't be a bad choice either. I'm guessing that yellow is racing yellow as well on the vinyl (if not its pretty damn close). Resolves the blue matching issue.

possibly but feel Yellow is too light and has little contrast on lighter colors so would probably outline in black anyway. We'll see. Im leaning towards leaving how it is and maybe just doing temporary small/medium vinyl decals for a giggle sometimes.

Thoughts about also painting the tires, rotors, and calipers that shade of blue

Lol. Blue smoke burnout tires?

I have never gone this whacky on color choice before but wanted to do something different. I like it. Wait til you see the personalized plate I ordered.

I may do a half cage in blue...

tell me it wouldn't be cool. You cant =)

Reminds me of a teenager who just got his first real job. Got a nice car and went crazy with a can of plastidip.

That is gorgeous. Normally I wouldn't be a fan of that paint color, but those wheels and that touch of blue on the wing friggin set it off. Very nice.

During his formative years, VLJ once came home from grade school to find their family car and their beloved dog, Fluffy, covered with PlastideRp by the neighborhood vandals - thereby explaining his revulsion towards PlastideRp he harbors to this very day.

I debadged the rear, painted the gt4 emblem same color, moved it up slightly and left off the Porsche. Then did the headlight washers too. I like the little details.

And cars are supposed to be fun. Especially a slot car gt4. Wouldn't have done this to a 911 for some weird mental reason. Didn't touch my Lamborghini which had gunmetal wheels factory and arguably is much more of a "hey, lets paint the wheels" car.
