yes it does thank's, I thought it might look cool but now I'm thinking somthing with more shine or metalic look, or even a totally different color, thanks again

Haha no problem! I personally think it would look awesome in a chrome-y bare metal paint job, with some red detailing, and maybe a race number on the door

but thats just me

Whatever color you decide to paint it, it looks pretty good right now. I think the gray that Jake added to the photo looks good, especially with the black chassis and engine, and a fair amount of chrome. Having those various shades of gray, it will always photograph well. If you go with gray, I think I'd go with a little bit darker gray than what is aon Jake's illustration.

Just my nickel's worth.

thank the ideas do help I think you might be right on just a little darker grey but shinier instead of a flat look, as I have been putting it together I was trying to keep it a little broke up the glass in it is smoked also, thanks for the comments and any ideas are helpful
