Hey guys, I'm having a bit of a problem: I'm planning on having my car re-sprayed and was wondering what I should do. I absolutely love the BRE livery with the red and white two-tone with the blue lower stripes like John Morton's old car, but I love the simplistic nature of the '98+ Nismo stripe graphic. I also want to keep the cost of getting it done as low possible. Above, there are some poll options. Pick the best one that you think might look good on my project. In fact, if you feel like it inspires you to do the same, then by all means, do it.

Yeah, that would help... only thing is my (good) camera battery is dead and I'm not good at photoshop. BTW, why not go to courtesy parts and sample the color/s? Also, if you don't know what the "Nismo" graphics are, you haven't owned your Nissan long enough!

I know what NISMO colors look like but I have no idea what BRE looks like.

Oh, in that case, google "BRE Datsun 510" or "BRE Datsun 240Z" or "Brock Racing Enterprise". In general, the common scheme (i.e. the famous John Morton scheme) is a white base coat with a red roof, hood, trunk, and fender stripe with a blue lower fender stripe. They also have a Baja scheme with a yellow upper section and a second Trans-Am car that had the blue and red sections reversed. My intentions are to use the upper and lower fender stripe sections and paint them in a ghost black with the BRE logo to break the upper and lower sections.
