Mark in the LCS has blue stripes on his CO Elise....I'll look for pics

plastique999 · 02-24-2009, 09:05 PM

Here it is....a bunch of us at SCCA driver's school.
Mark has the CO Elise with blue stripes....side by side with a kick a$$ 211

SweetDaddyD · 02-24-2009, 11:44 PM

I've done matte black, gloss black, and several of the charcoal shades for CO cars.
I personally have offset matte black stripes on mine.

When you decide what you want hit me up and I'd be glad to help you out on the stripes.

Supposed to be doing black on Isotope tomorrow.

Here is a picture of my car. The stripes are a Charcoal Grey Metallic.

I really like the look on yours

Black and orange go together as well as anything...a different style might give you the uniqueness you're looking for? That's what I did (obviously).

Do an off center stripe!

Darkside Eng · 02-25-2009, 06:42 AM

I dont know about CO and blue stripes

SweetDaddyD · 02-25-2009, 06:52 AM

Offset stripes are the new black. lol.

That is a beautiful car!

(and of course I'm refering to the stunning Krypton Green Exige S265 in the background

)

Viva la K.G.B.!

SweetDaddyD · 02-25-2009, 07:31 AM

hhaha, good one Mick! (hey I'll be working on an Isotope S240 in just a few hours)

Darkside, thanks for posting the pics of the other cars I did. (white with orange stripes, black with charcoal, and my car. In the post your stripes thread there is also the black with offset blue stripe and matching blue stella coarse wheels one that I did)

spectre · 02-25-2009, 08:31 AM

I know this is a stripe thread but Im sure there are other really cool racing style graphics and details that you could use. Stripes are cool but it would be nice to see a newer take...

spectre · 02-25-2009, 08:45 AM

I saw this somewhere and although I don't like the handle bar mustache in front I like the angled green stripe from front to back that goes into the side scoop, plus the number circle.

Also, not sure how it would look but I have always like the color around the front intake on an aston martin. Could be a cool look to do that, push it up the nose and over the roof into a stripe.

There's an Exige in Europe with this scheme.

Yup, I took them all from that thread.

Ah - Color Theory - I have an art degree too - but I was so stuck in thinking Lotus colors....never even occurred to me. Thanks!
