Pink Vs. Stink

Post by LTO_Dave »

Maybe I should have started a poll. :lol:

I got these BME chassis' anno'd brown and pink with the help of gomachv, but I'm having trouble deciding which direction to go with them. I think the brown tub will get a matching brown JCAR tranny and .56" shocks, black Raborn rear arms and sliders, and maybe black Andy's front arms.

Should I do all white parts with the pink tub? Or go crazy and dye the parts yellow or purple?

Personally I like the white parts on the brown car. If you have white parts that aren't perfect then dying them purple or ?? for the pink car would be interesting. I don't know that I would do white parts on the pink car myself. It deserves to be different! Lol

Green with pink or yellow with pink goes well. For the brown, pink?. Pink in the stink. Catchy :D

I'd go mostly black parts on the pink tub, with just a few white pieces (suspension mounts and bulkhead maybe) and bright chrome hardware. Polished or chrome shocks bodies if you can do it. Sort of a '50s hot rod/diner feel.

And natural white on the brown, with gold shocks.

I thought you'd be holding up 3 fingers and saying "two in the pink and one in the stink!". :lol: White for the dark and black for the pink would be my vote. Or maybe pink for the dark one.

Brown parts on the pink chassis, and pink parts on the brown chassis.

Alternatively orange on the brown chassis and stock white on the pink.

I have been thinking about the brown chassis....pink parts may just work :shock: something about that color scheme seems "right"

I agree with everyone here, light with dark, dark with light.
