Ok guys, as some know I've been getting into the R/C's lately, I've been playing around with things and have made myself a rockcrawler. Now, I also bought a new lexan body to go with the crawler and I need help painting it. It's a Dodge Durango and the only colors I have to work with are: Black..Silver...Mettalic Green...Candy Purple...Mettalic Blue.

This is the actual body I have...

Here's some Durango pics...

Keep in mind that only the colors above will be used, I'd prefer to use the Green and the Purple especially cause I just bought those, but any combonation will work. Also, the body will more than likely be cut up to fit on the chassis I built. The front and rear bumpers will probably be gone and I'll probably trim up the sides to make a little more clearance....have fun with it and it's much appreciated!

Edit: Just threw this together real quick to give you an idea on what the body will look like when I'm done with it...

Sounds good to me, BTW, I'm not that skilled in painting bodies yet so try not to make it overly complicated. Also, make it tough looking, I know the colors aren't exactly the touhest colors but I know I can work it out to look nice.

Awesome Wildman! I love the idea. I actually came up with something similar last night, didn't turn out as good though. I'm not sure about the top part being all purple, I like the purple but not that much, maybe if I switch the purple and the silver? If you have this in a PSD file think you could switch the 2 to see what it'd look like?

Much appreciated dude, I like where this is going...
