    Paint Scheme

    Here is my new color scheme for my corolla.
    I'm testing the orange-red and black out... I may do it on my accord.

    The top color is about what color the car is

    The orage red is what I want the engine parts to be

    The black will add some contrast and help define some of the details on the valve cover and other parts.

    Didn't turn out as flawless as I had hoped... I also got lazy and decided not to mask the individual grooves.
