Completely under stand why you would want to paint an 86 into a less theft deterrent scheme.... :drinks:

Red and whites rule. Do not paint her, she's already looking her best. See the WCR rally vids in which I big up the 86 scheme and down play all the others.

I agree that the '86 paint scheme is beautiful as is, but then, I'm biased.

Have you seen Frank's Brutus up close and personal? That paint job is absolutely gorgeous. It looks about six inches deep, and the pinstriping is creative and unique, yet very tasteful.
