I like the irony of this, all the time and effort that goes into this car I can only imagine is horrendous. So I would like to see this type of rust paint job and have the car be "the rust bucket" or a beaverly hill billies theme.... how would everyone feel when people are talking about the rust bucket beating their record. Also everything out on the salt flats is so high tech and fancy how would you feel rolling up in a rusty "beater" and have any hopes of competeing. Sorry if I am just too much of a red neck! I also think it might look sweet with the body lines of the Evo.

Just think all the salt out there is going to cause the car to rust anyways so what the point in worrying about paint!

the car shown is all fiber glass that has been air brushed.

A quick thought of mine would be this,

The first manned aircraft to break the sound barrier, and this is fitting of course do to the purpose of this car.
A pinup on the nose with a AMS twist of wording on the body with riveted paneling and call it a day.
You will for sure turn heads because most will right away know what it is representing.
You could make a play of its name, Bell XS-1
+1 on this theme. Simple, elegant, easily recognizable.

Black and White, two of the best Evo colors IMO. Shuttle colors tie in with the TA1 and it would looked aggressive having a black front with a white back.

Why not a gun?! M4A1!

Be like a bullet with a touch of some purple with some more carbon fiber instead of just plain black?
