FIRST OFF, that army green eg 89sihatch posted is seriously off da hook. that ******* looks so sweet and i want to trade cars with whoever owns it that is RIGHT NOW!!!!!!
Second off, the other army camo hatch 89sihatch posted looks a thousand times better then the artic white, or flat black idea you had. we all have dreams and visions but were trying to help you from doing something you're gonna regret. pls don't do the commando artica army ish, you will be considered a-wall if you do it!
Third off, have a great day and happy motoring!
P>S> that green eg is so sexy! (just had a say it again)

The thing is, any paint scheme is fine but it is the quality of the work that matters at the end of the day. You can paint it flat black but to make it a perfect smooth flat black ain't that easy.
Arctic camo is cool, but you really need to research on a good pattern and work from there. A dozen aerosol cans plus a weekend won't cut it.
What makes some of these cars hot is not really the "car" itself, but the detail that was put into it. It can be a simple stock car with a really good paint job, lower and a set of wheels and you will go WOW and drool over it. Since you are going to do mainly appearance work on the car, then that's gonna take lots of detail work to make it presentable; where a strickly off-road racing vehicle can be as ugly as hell, but as long as it goes fast, that's the whole point.
It is your car, you make the choice. But if you gonna DIY, then the final product will reflect your taste and your ability to conduct a work and how you execute it. People can only give you suggestion, you will have to remember that. Moreover, most people go with the flow, meaning, what is IN these days. Trends are set by people, and they don't just happen naturally. You want to set a trend, you need to be innovative and have vision and able to carry it out.
Same design and concept, you do a half-*** job, some will laugh at you. You do a good job, people will copy you and congratulation my friend, you have just set a trend.

a project consists more of a weekend of hack job work...like if there is one thing I cant stand is slammed cars bouncing all over the road uncontrollably cuz there is no suspension left...slamming a car on cheap *** coilovers is the same thing as cutting the springs and thinkin you're cool
