Post by: KOOL-AID MAN on January 06, 2005, 06:55:57 PM

Hey just wondering, what you guys think of this colour? i think it looks cool, nice and low bright orange with black wheels.

im trying to get ideas for paint in the spring,   i wanna do a flat paint colour aswell.

whoa, thats the elusive hover-bug. word has it air intake through the 100+ louvers in the decklid is equally transferred to hi-po fans set at each corner to keep that thing in the air. it was a proto-type for a star wars movie but mr. lucas decided to pass on it because the jawas kept getting sucked in through the louvers.

orange has never really been my thing, it reminds me of mid 70's bugs & busses, so i'd pass on it. but it's your car, so do as you please. ;)

haha, i remember those starwars guys, and dont worry ppl got there own opinions. I really dont like the orange bugs either, the orange that volkswagen used was really quite gross in my opinion, but the car reminds me of my friends dads old 32 model A that had a similar flat tang/orange paint. i dunno it would be somethign different from the rest.

kool-aid, if you do paint it that colour, please skip welding the doors shut and adding the confederate flag on the roof and the 01 on the doors. ;)
