Given the above statement, forget planes & such. Why not paint after Helios - the fastest man-made object made to date (150,000+ mph):
If you rotate it 90 degress, and paint the solar squares (or whatever they are) in a 3-D looking paint, I think it would look great. Here is my attempt with photoshop, but I suck at it. Don't know how to make the squares smaller and stick it on top of the Evo with the right shade ,etc., but you should get the idea...
Anyway, that's my proposal.

Helios 1 was launched in December 1974 and Helios 2 in January 1976, both reaching the Sun within about three months......
.... The maximum speed of Helios 2, which achieved its perihelion distance of 0.29 AU on 17 April 1976, is quoted as about 150,000 mph (241,350 km/h).By applying some simple equations of orbital mechanics, we can confirm that such an orbit would indeed result in a perihelion velocity of 153,800 mph (247,510 km/h)....
