If you go with decals, white will be the best option. Or top secret gold.

The black wouldn't work because a lot of the decals are black, so you wouldn't see them. You could put the decals on a spare xmod supra, you have what? 50 of them?

I painted it blue, like the 240. I used a flat black as a base coat and the blue was sprayed over it....It came out real nice and even

Lol looks like you have some spots to clean up there, it bubbled on you around the taillights. Aside from that, nice blue.

The black base makes everything easier. Next time use a gloss and then you can mask the trim and window seals before painting your main color. That way the thicker paint is on top and it matches the depth of the components.

Looks good, back in highschool one of my buddies had one the exact same color and year.
