    How many cans/coats did you use. Looks good.


    One of the hardest decisions you'll ever face in life is choosing whether to walk away or try harder.

    This is a personal taste issue, but for me the orange isn't the right color for this - the color pallets of the blue and orange just aren't working together, and the brightness of the orange takes away from the blue and makes it too bottom heavy. I'd go in the other direction and make the bottom darker rather than lighter. Their special series works because the red wine feels like there is black above and below it.

    What about a nice, deep red?

    I like the Orange. But I'm weird and like bright colors.

    We photoshopped many colors first.. orange won.. my original thought was a light blue for a two tone.... I may have to play with a few colors

    Pretty cool, I think orange and blue are great together. I think the problem you are running into is your blue is really shiny and the orange is not, but other than that I think it is just fine! Does this stuff come in lots of colors? How cool is that! So neat that you can just peel it off if you get tired of it, or don't like it. It probably protects the paint too underneath?

    Keep the orange and carry the orange theme to the blue. Just add a little bit of orange graphic to the blue to tie the orange color into the rest of your spyder. Also carry a little blue to the orange front end just to break the orange up so the front end does not look so heavy. Wrap my spyder or a vinyl graphic shop could help you out too. I really like the two color combinations. Looks great !!

    I don't like it, but then I don't like the Boise State Broncos either. I prefer the black and gold of the U of Idaho Vandals!
