    Phantom black body...what colour side blades?

    First off...hello!! Just joined, looks like an amazing resource here!

    So a question: I have a phantom black R8 which came originally with black side blades. I think I like the blades to contrast more than they do, and know people who will do it for me in any colour.

    I was thinking a dark silver, almost gunmetal colour would be best, but anyone have any alternative ideas that would look good? Literally ANY colour is available in any effect!

    Carbon Fibre is a material though, not a paint finish!

    Not a fan of the C.F blades on black so i'd go with Oxygen Silver...I think i liked the black and orange blades posted on here once tho

    Smile Re: Phantom black body...what colour side blades?

    I wonder if anyone has a black R8? A non mettalic black with matching BLACK sideblades would look classy and amazing. I'm talking a black paint job like the one on Evil Kenevils' car that just auctioned on Barrette Jackson. Best black paint job I've ever seen.Now I have two colors to choose from for my Spyder.

    I'm with Davey - OXYGEN!!!!!!!

    The contrast on my Mugello is stunning..... would assume similar on the black.

    ok, so i should maybe be clearer...they are black at the moment, so i don't want black or Carbon Fibre! I have a sprayout of Oxygen Silver with me now, is it not a little too light? Orange? I'm strangely tempted by that!
