Rally Red Color Scheme ideas?
Getting my whole evo 8 redone, repainted, with new block and whole cleaning. Body is RR color.
Anyways my question here is, what colors should I paint my vlave cover, faded brakes, tranny, head, etc (Basically anything to change the exterior/engine bay look)? I was thinking of painting the tranny and brakes a copper/gold color, maybe along with the valve cover. I want to make it cool, but at the same time keep it clean.
Im keeping my stock enkeis but painting them either a semi gloss or gloss black or just going to dip them black.
Changing my headlights to evo 9 headlights and the tails will be either jdm 7 or 9, still deciding on those too. Spoiler will be an oem looking full cf spoiler.
Also i think im going to paint my fmic black cause apparently it's proven by MCM to increase performance (just slightly)
But I am a long ways from making my final decisions on everything. Any thoughts on my plans for now, and any ideas/comments on what i should do? Thanks

Red and black goes well together.I would paint calipers and valve cover black.would leave rims alone.adding some brushed aluminum,polished or raw aluminum accents to engine bay(like spark plugs cover,coolant expansion tank,oil catch can,oil cap,etc would give nice contrast.just my 2 cents.

IMO I don't care at all what you do. It's your car and you have to live with it looking however you decide to do it. I'm saying in my own opinion the red and black scheme is so over played and there are other options but it comes down to what you like. I had this same talk with a friend and I went from black to white to gunmetal to gold to sliver rims. Gunmetal was my favorite color

Anything that resembles the color of a metal. Titanium, gunmetal, anthracite, oem alloy or bronze. I would use that as your second color, then maybe some gold for the smaller pieces like nuts/bolts and lug nuts, etc.
