I gave Eric an air brush kit last Christmas. After he's done with his motorcycle, I'm going to have him paint the fin and tail texturing on my Smart, along with a few accent areas of black, so the tridion and black paint blend together to look like Dory's black swirl pattern.

Nice idea and color combo.....I had also though of the same thing with replacing the rear red panel with black.

that actually is a pretty nifty idea. would it be more expensive to paint or to just buy the panels?? my guess is just buy half the panels (if they let you do that which i doubt)...

You can buy any panel in any color they make.

you are being copy-catted. Or should I say copy-fished?

While he's at it, you could have him do the mirror casings in yellow for her side fins!

One suggested addition to give it a real side-fin effect, and to bring some yellow forward...

There won't be another like it.

I really like the addition of the yellow on the side. It does bring it all together and gives it a more finished {or finnish!} look.
