Paint - Spiny's Simple Schemes
« on: November 14, 2009, 04:41:07 AM »
As you all know, I can't paint to save my life. And that's in real life as well as in Forza. In fact, the only thing I can do a half decent job of painting is a wall!

As a result, most of my paints are simple race-based schemes. Most will be new, but so far the cow car has made a reappearance - I'll take a pic at some time. But, first pic from me is another returnee - the rainbow car only this time it's on an Exige. There's also close to a full spectrum on it, so the car is a bit darker than before...




It's not up for sale yet, but the spectrum group is available in my Storefront if anyone wants to colour up their own ;)

Another Rainbow car, cool!  I like this one better, since I've aged, I've grown to appreciate purple.

Thanks Blooze - I'll aim to get the laptop near the Xbox soon and add an ad in the Yellow Pages.

Got to say that's a good idea of yours 8)

Just a simple scheme on the '84 Celica Supra (tried to get an 80's style to it, not sure how successful it was on that score) but I quite liked it. Nothing like as complicated as some I've seen on here (Pete's spring to mind immediately), but I like the effect.



Incidentally, contrary to appearances, this is NOT a drift car :D I was just provoking it for the photo opportunity. In reality, it feels quite good. But I really need to see how it compares online before I put the tune on sale...

My latest paint job for the '09 Focus - I had to turn down the exposure to stop the green bleeding out!

Hi, guys. I haven't done much painting, well just a bit in FM2. So I was looking around for some inspiration. Found this thread here,
and this,http://www.xs4all.nl/~dthart/forza/ ,over there (.net).
Nice work Spiny. I like the ROYGBV Lotus. :)
