Help with race car colours

[Beeker2 69]

I really like this colour scheme, but I have a silver car.
Yes I could wrap the entire car, but it would be easier (cheaper) if we could use the same shapes, but colours compatible with Silver.
Ideally it would stand out a little.
What goes well with Silver as a contrast ?

I'd go with a bright blue in the darker shade. Like a reflex blue. 3m has the same shade in 50 series vinyl. Its cheap to in that particular vinyl, it will last long enough as well.

You already have a neutral base so the natural contrast would be dark, like a charcoal colour, thats a bit boring though.

Blue, possibly a deep red/blue purple shade like a reddish violet. You could wank up the transition with a bright flouro, pink, blue etc. Once you broke it up with sponsor logos thatd be a sweet livery.

Just leave it out overnight in Otahuhu, it'll be painted for free.

Most colours will go well with silver - just make sure it contrasts as another light colour would probably look pretty foul. If you want striking a red or blue could look good, or if you want something a little more subtle a dark grey or black as per the yellow one.

You can't see much of it on here but you can see that red would look good:

Not sure if i like orange and silver:

Edit: Actually the only thing I dont like about the orange/silver E46 is the orange headlight covers. The wheels look bad arse

I'd go with this.. Looks good and stands out. And easy as you already have the silver base.
