Thinking About Painting My Smart- Opinions Please

After quite a bit of thought, I might actually keep my Smart and have it custom painted. What do you guys think of this color??? I would just keep my wheels normal alloy.

Yes. I saw a Lamborghini painted that color...was very striking! Not a color I would choose for an expensive car like Lambo though. It's more of a novelty color.

That's what color my wife wants me to paint our Smart. I like it BUT our Smart will be going a different color I won't mention (yet). The final decision will be "if" I get my promotion at work - I'll find out exactly a week from today. IF I get it, I'll have the car completely painted by late July.

i like that better than the tomato red color for sure. Also, I would keep your wheels silver too, I'm not a big fan of black rims

That's funny Curtis...Tomato red. I thought about painting green stemps on top so that it would resemble a Tomato. I guess I could have walked away and just waited for an orphan. However, like to be a little different plus it's just such a fun car to decorate. Kinda like like going back to childhood.
