The Neila was recently done by Veil_Side.

Not a big fan of the Chameleon Paint myself, but to each his own. It is pricey and chips are really noticeable with the color changes the paint does from the transition from yellow to purple. chips obviously wont change at all so the eye catches it pretty easily.
I am just going for a basic change in paint job. Going to paint my body kit Black and a CF hood, mirrors and gas cover on a WB 8.

if your gonna do purple id advise you to get an aggressive bodykit, it takes a lot to pull off purple. If i were to paint my car id probably go with a flat black all around; or a colorshift of black/gray/silver with sparkles in the paint.

i say dont go for the chameleon paint job, that is so old school now. The neela paint scheme in green looks pretty nice. Try the 2 tone paint job like the fortune Rx7 in tokyo drift. But be prepared to pay a shitload of money for any style paintjob.

God please don't do the "neela" thing unless you're looking to make your 8 look like an 80's minitruck.
Me personally, I'd pick a really clean solid color and go with that, some of the most amazing paint jobs I've seen are only one color, they're just done/maintained at a high level.
Here's an example, this look says way more than any graphic scheme could ever wish for:

just pick one that suits the 8 well, and you'd be set.

Please don`t do neela... veil_side already beat you to it, and 2 neelas running about 250 sq miles cancel each other out pretty quick, exclusivity-wise...
I always liked deep translucent cherry-apple or blood red..
Stormy blue is the next best thing
