You have to see this car in person to get the whole effect - saw it at the Galpin show last year. It has the right balance of matte / shiny.

i say do it.. i think it will look cool, as long as you definately add the gloss black stripes, it will take away from it looking like just primer.... i'd be interested to see how it looks .... go with your instinct

I think you'd have to do some stripes or some kind of accent graphic to make it look you you meant to paint it like that, and not primer. But if done right, it could be cool for sure.

I say go for it if you think you will be happy with it. I would be curious to see how it looks if you do it. But like others said, be sure to put the stripes on or it will just look like primer.

That thing is so ugly. The red accents ignore the cars shape and lines and obliterate a fantastic design.
