Sweet but i like the Chevy camaro Transformers Bubble Bee eddition myself but dont realy have a favorite race car style,,but i did always like the old Kyle Petty '' Mello Yello'' nascar paint sceme!!! And no i dont do Nascar if your wondering!!!

Well I'm pretty sure the paint store messed up my velocity yellow corvette color. It looks pretty orange for a yellow. To late now because it's on the boat. And I really don't want to strip and start again.

Here is my HOTR Cat just painted

[JPriami]

Got some black on it. I had a hard time trying to mimic the black on the race car. Mainly because there is such a large front portion of the boat past the cockpit are vs the short bit on the race car. So I just made my own patterns in the black.
I did some masking then sprayed some black on. After that I played around with using black tape to fill areas that I might paint black to see where to go from there.



Then taped off cockpit area with black tape to see how this would look.


Then removed black tape and blacked out air scoop to see how that would look


Decided on blacking out the cockpit area and leave scoop. I'll make either a chrome or CF windshield.

looks sweet!!!! Are you going to do something with the front half, just seams like a big area of solid yellow,, maybe a big decal or something..

I usually use a dark metallic grey when I have surrounding black areas. Check out the canopy I did on priahnas geico. You'll see what I mean. Silver frames look really good with it. Boat looks good though. I like the yellow and black. I had a aeromarine challenger that I did the early 90s yellow and black ferrari theme on. Hmm I may have to do that again....

[JPriami]

Thanks. Yeah I'll probably do something up front with some paint too. Looks to bare up there now. I have some silver vinyl striping and some chrome too. I'll use one or the other somewhere perhaps.

[JPriami]

I'm thinking I might try the corvette GT fender stripes on the front sponsons. Or maybe a set of racing stripes that reflect the shape of the angles in the sponson tips with a black outline around the stripes. Similar to what's on some of the camaro hoods. Been busy with other stuff today and honestly my brain needs a break from thinking about this boat lol

[JPriami]

Opinions on the carbon fiber windshield I just made?



Not sure if I like it. It may get peeled off.

Looks sweet, Justin! One of the prettiest cats Ive seen.

[megalops]

Looks Awesome!!

[HYDROJERRY]

looks great against the black,, you should leave it like that!!! i tryed to do the chrome sticker one but it was to stiff to bend and lay wright, it wood look cool on yours too..

[JPriami]

Yeah I have some chrome I can cut one out of.
I'm wanting to get some two tone tho. I'd like it to be a yellow tinted chrome to silver or something. I'm wondering if I can use some custom two tone window tint or something. I'll have to look around for that.

J have you seen the spray on chrome process they did on the Audi r10 on the show West Coast Customs? Looks kinda difficult and expensive but...It can be done.
