Default I've done it again......

I can't seem to stop myself. I'm powerless against it. Testor's Purple-Licious paint on a rocket seems SO WRONG!!!!!!

Are you going to kick back with some "Purple Drank" and enjoy your color choice?

If I can find my goblet and fur-handled walking stick.
Gotta admit. As purples go, this one is nice.

Gold would be a complementary color.

As opposed to "complimentary." I'm pretty sure you couldn't get it for free.


Cheers,

I did a rocket for my wife... downscaled Goblin... Purpliscious body and fins with fintips and nose fluorescent yellow. Duplicolor metallic clear over the whole thing. She liked it!

Or, as Marc said, flourescent yellow. I'm not that great when it comes to picking out colors for original paint schemes. I tend to use the colors of schools/sports teams as fall backs. I fell back to high school for this one.
