Turning

I really like the larger diameter turns you often see on old race cars. Something about the pattern seems a little different than the black & silver bike below. Maybe the turns don't overlap quite as much?

Color

I've done a ton of color research. Here are some samples of base colors I really like.

Toyota Blue Ribbon (8T5)



Toyota Indigo Ink Pearl (8P4)



Toyota Nautical Blue Metallic (8H3)



House of Color Cobalt Kandy (probably over a black base). Cobalt over silver is definitely too light.



House of Kolor Midnite Blue Pearl. In this picture it looks great. In other pictures I seen it looks almost black. This pic makes me wonder if a similar colored light blue pinstripe might look pretty good against the gold.

Tank Layout 2.0

I've finally decided to go with a tank layout similar to this one and run the stock badges.
