Hi guys,

I just bought a top chop bug. It need some TLC and a new front.
I don't want to use a flip front, so I will need to graff a new front clip.

I was just thinking about the paint.
What do you think about those paint schemes ? Which one do you prefer ? a simple one with a single color ? or a more complexe one with several colors ?

I'm also open to suggestions and pics.

Thanks Smiley

Thanks guys Smiley
Instead og the white, I could use an ice blue paint (very subtle light blue, near from white). The darker blue paint could be with metal flakes and the pastel blue with some candy paint.

The single color yellow reminds me Mouse Trap and the white one the Old paint scheme of Sum Fun.
I like the green one. What shade of green do you have in mind?

The first one suits pretty well the color code of Rhino Performance but the white version is really cool too !!

I agree the white one does kind of look like the old Sum Fun version. Here is a pic from 1982
