    Which Color Scheme Do You Like ???

    Re: Which Color Scheme Do You Like ??? I like the solid dark blue with the red stripe and a white on the vertical surfaces (just below exhaust). The bottom would be a light tan...almost indistinguishable from the white. I do NOT like the light blue on the bottom of this picture!
