    Request: Harlequin E30

    Hey all,
    I'm repainting my E30. Just wondering if anybody was willing to p-shop a Harlequin E30. That is, every panel is a different color like the MK3 VW's. Thanks in advance!

    BTW, if I end up using somebody's color scheme I'll let you have a panel to yourself. This means you can fab up a stencil/rendering/whatever and I will throw it on my car as a form of homage.

      Thanks, that's the right idea.

      I was hoping somebody could try metallic or bold/deep colors as well?

      BTW Harlequin and rollcages are FUCKING HARD.

          If you click my sig, there's a pic in my cardomain page. Will that work? Any E30 coupe will do just fine for an example.

          I'm interested in at least having an olive green, but other than that I'm open to any color schemes. Pastels, bolds, metallics, you name it.

                    Have you ever seen the harlequin with rs's in the same theme. I am going to try and find a picture.

                        IMO this might look good with bmw-ish colors like blue, purple, red and some white/black in the right places.

                          Aww the harlequin's have a soft spot in my heart. They're catchy in an odd VW sort of way. I remember the first time I saw one and didn't know what it was, all I could think was "Goddamn cheap bastards, can't even paint their car all one color."

                            That's the end goal. I'm going to buy BMW OEM colors from paintscratch.com and actualy PAINT them on each panel.

                            What I need is someone artistically talented to help me out, I can't color coordinate worth shit. I just need to know what panel to color what, what contrasts well with each other, and how I should place decals.
