I like the KP-Caspian! My husband has a C7 that is Jet Stream Blue. I love it, but I think the KP would be different and is a beautiful color!!

That one is actually seafoam green, but it's flip color is blue. At night it doesn't look blue at all. It is a very cool color, I agree

I like the lethal blue out of those three. It would also depend if you're going to redo your sharpie project since the darker color would probably subdue the black too much.

Carbon blue pearl for me....but it's your car!

I just like the idea that you can change it if you get tired of or don't like it.

Really like the Lethal blue pearl. The others are cool as well but the lethal blue just grabs your attention.

+1 for the Caspian Gold-Blue color shift. The other two are very nice, but they remind me of more "stock" colors that different manufacturers use, where the Caspian is a more "custom" paint color, if that makes any sense?

When I raced RC cars I always did day-glow orange with a white band like the Penske Marlboro cars.

Are you looking to be more "normal" this time?

Haha, me? There are people like me out there that do it as a side gig! and just for the fun of it. There are a few places that do it professionally in the greater Seattle area as well.

Ahhhh! Drastic change of plans. I just picked up 2 gallons of black for free (sweeeet)! And I have nearly an entire gallon of biscuit gold from a set of wheels I dipped a couple weeks ago, so....I think I'm going to dip my car in vintage Lotus F1 colors, like they did in the 70's with the John Player Special cars!

Carbon blue pearl!

Whatever you end up doing. I can't wait for pictures of how this turns out.

These would look great in a vette I think:
