Just make the red part a dark silver and make the yellow part midnight black.

Apply to this car.

It will look like a Daewoo with a bra.

My thoughts exactly. Cool? Eye of the beholder, I suppose.

Red nose and grey body better? I really like that look on the old Alfas.

Red body with a yellow nose???? I think part of what makes it work on the alfa is the blunt nose that might not work as well on the daewoo. I think the gulf stripe/designs would work maybe better with the shape of the car - but perhaps play with some alternate base and stripe colors.

Black the nose, then spray over a big-arse doily "stencil" with the body color.

Everybody likes lacey bras.

Or a Daewoo with accident damage.

i think if you do yellow or black, it will look like you put a body kit bumper on it and didn't have the money to paint it. or as one of the car club guys in college called it, the no paint club

This, it won't look good. Making a Daewoo look good won't be easy. Might not be possible

The gray/silver part would be the problem.

The baby blue and orange Gulf color would look better. See?

Why not just paint the car silver, then plastidip your pattern.

It is getting a stencile on the hood with my logo. I'm also thinking of pin-striping the quarter panels with "Float like a bubblebee, sting like a butterfly."

I kind of like this, actually. I agree it would look better with a baby-blue back and an orange front, though. Maybe a thin orange racing stripe coming off the hood.

Just get some finger paint for the kids and go with a BMW "art car" motif.

^Cool idea.

The red/yellow suits the vintage Alfa, but on a '90s car it seems more like a McDonalds homage.

I've been trying to make a traditional 510 BRE paint job fit properly on my B13 Sentra. The modern car is too round, and the painted bumpers interfere with the lines...tough to make it exactly right.

Yeah, you have to be careful with your choices.

My dad repainted his Civic hatch red and put on yellow stripes. The club hence coined it, the McCivic.
