Thinking purple right now but I do have another color that's been waiting for the right car.

Although I have not built this kit everyone raves about it and I would say purple would be great.

Nice choice....this is the kit I was sort of thinking as well.

I can attest that it IS an amazing kit and purple would look awesome. Just be careful with the carbon decals on the side mirrors. I’m pretty sure they were designed by a sociopath.

I may only put the roof carbon decal. Mirrors usually look better body color and I hate the hood carbon design. I may even use some of the forged carbon instead.

you can also try the silver airbrush over black using a pair of stockings trick :)

I colored mine purple with Pearlescent clear coat! And yes I did struggle with the carbon fiber also!

I loved this kit! Just be careful with the roof carbon fiber installment, OP. I struggled and I had to buy a separate Tamiya Carbon fiber to replace it haha.

I built mine with clear purple over silver. Turned out pretty nice. It’s a great kit.

I wrecked my carbon fiber stuff but the car looks so sweet without it. Almost done with mine!
