Change it Panther Pink and Black it can only help. Or Vitiman C Orange or Grabber blue and silver.

Mmmm... love all those colors.

I think you should paint him up like Herbie. It would rock to see him kicking butt on the show!!!

paint it whatever color(s) you want.  I wouldn't worry about your color choice hurting or helping your chances.  I doubt it really makes that much of a difference whether your car is blue or neon pink.

I think I will keep the Colors. I have been looking at a few different shades of  Burg but this paint suits the little monster. I might still add a candy base to it. Give it a little more pop in the sun. If they can't see it coming already they shouldn't be on the road.

I don't think the camera would be able to see it. Plus if they want it they don't care about the colors. It's about the action and I got that..

NO PINK! Never paint a car PINK!

How about this  color???? -

keep the color, it looks good. W/O the scratches

What's wrong with pink?  I was just hunting around for the perfect color pink to paint my spare car out back once we get the body shop up and fully operational :) 

I think the current colors are perfect for the car, I wouldn't change it.  Maybe add something to make the burgendy color POP a little more, but that's it :)

Pink for a guys car? Not on this boys toy. 

Now pink on a sick girls rig! That is a spanking machine! Men will tremble in her path.

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth...

I like that... But if I change the color to far from what I already have. It means a complete strip down and interior paint as well... Like the pear green!

Yeah, I like the VUE Red Line, too... not a fan of that color, though. I much prefer dark colors, so Mr. Happy looks great just as he is. I really like the color scheme.

Though you have to admit, Herbie would rock in Bullrun...

yellow and brown, rename mr..happy to mr. rotten banana

You have to sure of your manhood to drive a pink car. Tell me you wouldn't drive this?

How about this white with one black stripe up the center. Hella cool.

grabber blue

if you're trying to keep it era based color, go for that nasty green everyone's appliances were in the 70s LOL

as for the pink... ya... pink bug = looks like clit................. that is all

My wife wants that....SO------------------------------NO! any color my wife likes is parade grade. Like those Blue Stangs just wouldn't fit the gangsta bug look I have going on....

some of those colors (ie grabber blue) ONLY look good on those specific cars IMO, the challenger, I'd drive it... right to the paint shop :P

LOL!

I'm kinda partial to FM3 pink Cudas myself... I'd rock an FM3 1970 AAR Cuda.

 Your call Aaron, but I have always liked the Wart the way it is.

I am leaning towards the same colors saves a lot of issues with door jams and dash. I still might candy the paint or darken the red. to change the overal look. Just to make it pop a little more.

it looks great the way it is. dont mess up a good thing.:p

Aaron throw a little candy in the base bring out the burgandy,not to much just enough to balance with the silver.I agree with you as color change will have to be completely stripped down,I get the feeling if things were taped off no matter how well you will be driving knowing that and it would bug the living crap out of you.Am sure when it is done it will be as it is one sick little bug.Next time I am thru Eugene would love to see the Wart,will call if that happens.

That is what I have in mind... You can read minds!

Hell ya, can't wait to show you  the monster. Maybe even let you drive.

OOOOOHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!DONT TEASE ME!!!!!!!Besides you will make Rhea jeolous

Well your going to have to wait for a spell. Mister Happy went under the DA today. It's going to take a couple of weeks to get him up and looking his best. 

Andy he's ready for his close-up! Well so0N.
 

PS: Sorry I missed your Message about being in Salem I was working on that tile I told you about the other day. Finished with the thin set and now a couple of days of drying and grout. Oh the pleasures of home ownership. See you soon.

I didnt tease you, and Rhea was indeed jealous... Rhea, are you jealous?  

Leave the colours the way they are. Looks super sweet as is!!!

Paint it rust so it looks natural!!!

that is a classic patina. very sought after. 

Actually, if you want to scare me with that thing, paint it like a japanese beetle, those suckers were worse than the squirrels when it came to my strawberries!

It may make your car eligible for eradication:

Meaning: I don't have to stop at eliminating you: I can eradicate you!!

No pesticide will keep this bug down. I drink Raid for breakfast.

BURP!

Here are a few of the Pictures of Mister Happy! repair. As you can tell it is full swing and should be back by the end of this month. If I have to repaint the whole @#$%&*^ I want it perfect. That means fixing everything. Just in cast Andy does decide to let us run in the next season.

I will post more pictures as it goes.

Fun stuff man. Put some candy on there when you shoot it!

I like the original color you had Aaron... if I had to go for another color, I suppose I would go with that Copperish Orange metallic that came on alot of Plymouth Prowler's, and 350Z's

I second the Grabber blue if not too late

satin flat black

Copper? Blue? or Black?

I'll go with Mister Happy Dr Pepper adding a little Black Cherry  Candy to add that pop. I think changing it's color would change what it is.  I have some time yet before I make that choice. But as with anything I do it tends to be over the top....

I might just keep it like it is in the pictures now. Thurman wants a Stink bug! He's afraid of its sex appeal if its restored to its magical self.... HAHAHA

Keep it the color it is. There is only 1 thing missing.... Mr. Happy needs to be on the hood.

Check that.... The wife said the same thing.

Agreed!

Hey, Doesn't Tony and T do engraving. They could do something in the VW Circle?

I'll have to ask...

Well it's been a couple of weeks and we are getting closer to the end game. Here is the car as it sits on 04/14/2009

And this is the test paint on the Meaner Mister Happy! (Done by Ed Hubbs at Full Blown Graffix). You can see the Blue hood he did also but I didn't think it fit Mister Happy! So you can see I did look at every option but Pink. (fun Ed wanted pink and well.)

That looks pretty awsome Aaron

It's coming along.... It's sad that I had to do this. That money could have gone to drinking or strippers!

Shoulda gone red with black spots!!! Seriously though - the colours you got now suit the ride - just pearl or candy it, and it'll be awesome!
