Default Favorite paint job scheme for race car?

Yes, it's for the S2000. I found a nice race shop out here that hopefully do the fuel cell and smooth out some of my PVC pipe-fender rolling...

The paint has seen better days and the owner of the shop said he could do a "race paint job" so it wouldn't cost a lot.

It's kind of fun. We've had this car for almost 7 years and it's a chance to mix things up a little.

Embrace my inner ricer, you know? Opinions on paint schemes and / or pictures you think might work?





Here are some potential candidates. Racing stripes could be painted or vinyl.

you're dying to spend some money huh. Its a track beast. If it were me, I would spend the money elsewhere. But since you asked, I wouldn't repaint an OEM color. Although I think the Laguna and Imola look great. go custom color.

I pick the metallic blue one in the background of the last photo or the PMU blue brake caliper color. Stripes dont' feel right on an S.

It's not a track beast yet.

Rollbar, passenger Sparco Evo, and some harnesses going on as well.

What else would you spend the money on?

I think you have it covered. Since mine is about 95% stock, I could find all kinds of ways to spend money.

Speaking of Sparco Evo, where are you picking that up? I was in Bloomington today looking for Motorsportseats (Recaro Sparco dealer) hoping to find a showroom. No luck.

You don't want to know what I spent in the last two seasons...

The passenger Sparco Evo has been sitting in my tire storage room (3rd bedroom) for the last two years. I left the stock seat in the passenger side to make it more comfortable for instructors to fit into.

But since I have to keep the interior otherwise stock for now, I wanted to offset the weight increase of the roll bar, hence the swap at this time.

Just to throw another one out there if you're open to suggestions, how about the Gulf colors:
