Hmmmm. I know you didn't mean it this way but an Elio painted in multiple colors, if they are the ones I like, would be awesome. :) Z
:D

Here's an idea for EM. To save money offer only ONE color shift paint. There would be a color somewhere on the Elio that would appeal to all owners.

Colorshift is cool, but I personally like the yellow and blue color shift, or dark blue to turquoise. Burnt orange to Yellow or black to yellow is also pretty cool. EXPENSIVE though. What I will probably do is use what's called "PlastiDip." You can achieve the same kind of colors while protecting your original paint job. Much cheaper than paint a lot of people can do it themselves.

Nobody made stripes that I liked that I could stick on my truck, so I did my own using plastidip.
Here is my truck while I had the stripes. (I should mention the wheels are still plastidipped like that as well, they're normally just an aluminum finish)

I have since peeled off the stripes and the paint underneath was in great shape! (stripes were on for a couple years).

I'd be tempted to get this color plastidip on the colored parts of the Elio. It's called Burnt Copper Metallic.

Kegger.........no options other than the standard 7 Elio colors plus yellow! lol

After watching a video showing the process........plastidip is a pretty cool custom color option.
Yuppers, I'll most likely be going with creamsicle and plasti dipping over the whole thing. :) I'm honestly fine with them offering the simple 7 colors.
