If you'd like to get magazine exposure with the car I would recommend painting it a brighter color. Photographers like bright colors on races alot more because it gives a nice detailed contrast between that and the car.

i learned my leason. unless the paint job is free or sponsored, i'd recommend spending the least possible on this job...meaning don't do something nice cuz its jus gonna get fucked up working on the car. seriously...then ur gonna kick urself in the butt from every lil nick and scratch

That is true. Several years ago, a friend had an aqua VW Rabbit race car. When running at Daytona, it stood out the most when on the banking.
