here's my contribution to this thread, went with red and taffy white, classic..
its a metallic paint then i added a coat of some really glittery sparkle clear and finished it off with a few lacquer coats. it took like an hour and 9 coats of white paint to get the letters nice. In all I probably have like 15-20 coats of crap on that thing. In the sunlight its really glittery and shiny. came out really good so i am happy.
at the same time i also painted the fog housing and made the lens yellow. painting is fun and i rock at it. still waiting on the nhbp headlights, can't wait until tuesday..
