Default Another paint project
I finally got my can of good clear, but it's only got a 48 hour pot life, so I want to get my Vararam lid painted now so I can clear everything at once..BUT I can't figure out what paint scheme to go with...



Honestly, it will rarely be shown off...basically only at shows. I know a lot of people like to do crazy bright colors...like Hemi Orange...but I'm thinking I should just stick with the gray and black theme...thoughts?

I also have a nice Hemi badge from a Charger that I want to use. I honestly think I might just go with all metallic gray and put the hemi badge, either with the black letters and chrome (stock) or just PD the whole thing for an all black lettering look.

The other thing I thougt of doing was painting the outer edge (including the "valley" and out) gray and then the center area metallic black and then installing the Hemi badge.

Input?

I think stick with the gray and black theme because you have no other color accents. I think the badge done in Plastidip would look cool too

I just had another thought...I have the front badge from my grill that I painted a while back just hanging on my tool box...I could re-paint that so that everything perfectly matches. Think of the lid being black and then this repainted and recleared:
