The flow of the paint just does not flow with the curves of the car....

i like it....

it would really pop with some purple racing stripes and multi-colored underbody neon. Maybe a GT wing. Idk. The pure sexiness of it could set the atmosphere on fire.

I think Carbon Grey would go nice as a top color for a TG RX8.

If you're really planning on painting, try to do something with similar curves to the lines of the car. The lines don't need to match the car, just not drastically different. If you have a Xbox, it's kind of fun to play with paint scheme ideas in Forza. Here's a couple of ideas I put up for NYCdrift's car....

A simple two tone will look good. Everyone's right when they say it just doesn't flow or look right. Also I'm not sure about the color choice either.

You could always go crazy and get custom interior Alcantra and Orange Suede would be flippin' sweet.
