I'm thinking of having my sled painted,before this season gets on there way,Looking for something a little different than the blue,I was thinking of incorperating more black.Instead of blue hood,a black and or red,with some off the wall graphics??? Any thoughts or suggestions??
 

I'll share. I painted these two back in the fall of 1997. Kept with the blue for the most part (sled with flames the blue was all re-painted) and just added more. Also painted the tunnel black on one sled. Not many people on this forum go with paint, usually just some bolt on white/orange/yellow accessories or vinyl decals. Vinyl is also good I found this photo of our old '91 Phazer II. Red was painted by a friend that owned a body shop before I started painting, and I cut and applied the white vinyl graphics.

Thank you for your reply,your sleds look good.I was jus ttrying to get some opinions,on my options.I'm still thinking i might go with the hood black and blue flames,and or some other kind of graphics.
 
Check out Kyle's Viper, one of the best looking Vipers out there. I'm not sure if this is what he done but I would just mask the area you want to keep blue (flames) and paint the hood black.

Here it is:

I'm not very good @ PhotoShop but I can change the colors! lol Silver, Chrome, Black and Gold are hard to do. So are graphics.
