Kinja'd!!!

New macro lens shows just how badly a new paint job is needed. What’s a good color for an MR2? In my opinion, no beige is too bland and no neon is too nasty so go wild with the suggestions!

I’m tempted to practice a bit more and get one of these printed as a big “art” poster.

I’m open to doing a racing livery too. Really any paint scheme or type. The more unique the idea the better I guess!

I, um, gahh... At a loss for words, that’s stunning. I might just do black wheels too. Miami Blue will definitely be on my radar!

Yep, I think that’s my new 2nd favorite color. After ducati red of course!

But repainting it adds a lot of weight. Remember that!

Subtle yet still unique. I like it. Plus they’re Toyota colors!

The original paint has to be sanded first, it’s chipping a lot. That’ll make up for the weight gain later! Plus I have future plans for the weight distribution that’ll help offset the massive weight of new paint...

I think it needs to be lime green.

I’m going to go with a really dark blue metallic (dark enough that it almost looks black in the shade). No handy examples, just a pick of what sounds like a nice color.

Oh yeah while we’re at it let’s do the Jazz dixie cup wave down the side too.
