It will be different, that's for sure.

Not to my taste though as it looks like they forgot to paint over the primer!!

yep a little dull but with some bright bits it may be nice

[V8Dom]

better duck egg blue with orange bits..

IMO grey not right for an ultima...but these cars are for personising.. Good Luck

Having chosen a car styled on a race car why would you paint it to look like a company car.
The GT3RS gets away with it because of the bright red.
It's a bold car and IMHO needs bold colours.

Very dangerous colour combo , nobody is going yo see you coming in that especially on track !!!!

Great colour scheme. I love it. Forget polished or shiny bits, they're for pimps.

The first picture is a better one,
the lower is not of good color, but gives the idea.

Interior black... with leather terracotta/mocca/brown recaro's?

"Interior black... with leather terracotta/mocca/brown recaro's?"

You're tending towards the hairdresser with that last bit. I suppose it depends on whether you want to race it or show it off. I prefer dark colours (but not red) for the interior. I like the pastel/greyish colours for outside, and I wash my cars one a year if they're lucky. I like to drive them (well not the Ultima, because I'll never finish it ).
In my perverted opinion, cars and motorbikes built for racing look better with scratches, dirt, and preferably with some duct tape holding a piece of bodywork in place.

The grey would look good with the parts in red on the Porsche replaced with orange, and a dark blue interior.

You would have to trust me on this one since you were considering black.


It is a shade of British racing green called Imperial Green, a very dark green that in anything but direct light appears black. Only on the Lotus Carlton, incredibly difficult to photograph.

Id be holding on a couple of weeks until all the new f1 liveries are released and have settled down a bit.

Apparently McLaren are going to a shade of black/darker grey/carbon with the red or orange Vodafone colour.
There are others that haven’t even been announced as well.

Would hate for you to only miss something by a day....

The second photo gives the impression that the vehicle could be a German army staff car

Ga-DAyamn!
I suppose I now have to reveal my secret!
This is what I was hoping to base my paint-work on, ever sice I saw it a year ago....and it looks like F1 have now 'nicked' the idea! Shouldn't have waited...

Enjoy the piccys - Concept it might be - but ooohhh...it looks awsome!



Anyone care to comment? Make good alternate body for the Ult?

[donkeasy]

the shape of the car is a hell of a job!

Did I mention I am a full time ......

Only joking.. it's a bad picture!

Black with black accent covered in satin instead of gloss clear coat. Lambo did it on a car shown at the L.A. Car show it was spectacular. Second choice the green that the factory has done recently, saw the car at the factory this summer, mother hide your daughters. Third choice is factory yellow, the color I picked for my GTR my Porker friend refuses to park his yellow GT2 any where near my car because it makes the P yellow look like baby s.... That is a quote.

Thinking of respraying my GTR silver - shows the dirt a lot less than black and I would rather be driving the car than cleaning it.

If I do go for silver I am also thinking of a wide central stripe in a brightish colour (so other cars can see me coming on track).

I haven't yet considered what colour so your suggestions would be appreciated.

We have chosen the factory green for our ultima. Also Thinking of black wheels.

Are you refering to the Yamaha type Green?

If so then great choice, I've seen one at the factory and it looked stunning. Fits perfectly what I said earlier that the car needs a bold colour. Also agree the black wheels.
