I think they may have gone overboard with doing the whole car (too much of a good thing?), but if all you're going to paint is what's colored plastic on the XB, I think it'll look extra sharp.

yeah, the whole car is too much I think.
I'd dont want to do all of the plastic, maybe fade it from the bottom.
not sure yet, and I'm going to try and spray this weekend.. tick tock

I think it would look good as a flame detail/ graphic detail, just not sure what color I could suggest.

Too chopper-ish me thinks. I think the color with make a strong enough statement.

I have seen the paint effect on 'busas and Gixers...it looks good if the colors are well matched, but if you get an off color....puke city.
