Jantrix Posted November 26, 2018 Posted November 26, 2018 Traditionally the Batmobile, and even Batman was blue. This was likely due to printing limitations at the time, but there is presidence for the blue idea. One of the '66 Batmobile kits comes with some sort of turbine engine.
cobraman Posted November 26, 2018 Author Posted November 26, 2018 Thanks guys. I am thinking either the black or a dark blue. None of my paint jobs are great but black has always been tough for me.
crazyjim Posted November 26, 2018 Posted November 26, 2018 You could always glue the hood shut and not worry about the engine.
jaxenro Posted November 26, 2018 Posted November 26, 2018 Not to be picky and I hope you don't mind the comment but the rear fin looks sort of shark like. Would you consider maybe adding a couple of scallops to the trailing edge?
Pete J. Posted November 26, 2018 Posted November 26, 2018 Ok, black or dark gray, but more important, FLAT paint. No gloss. Got to hide it in the shadows!

Expand There's a little bit of everything in that thing. the grille is a little Studebaker, a little Lincoln, the wheels could be Cord, and the headlights could be '39 Plymouth too.
Superbird McMonte Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 What do you call the hybridization of a Bat with a Cobra.... Babra.... Cobrat....?♂️
Superbird McMonte Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 In all seriousness, I like the idea! I’ve toyed around with the Duke boys driving a 1970 Monte Carlo,?
jaxenro Posted November 27, 2018 Posted November 27, 2018 Winged snakes are usually dragons bat wings and cobras

I am pretty sure the color is partially due to lighting around the display, but I don't believe a black car would reflect that much of a purple hue. Expand That's very fitting place for that to be DC (DC Comics) David S.
Gumball Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 Maybe you should paint black highlights in it, than go over top of them in a slightly transparent blue. Not only Giving you the best of both worlds, but also giving it that comic book look to it.

THORDOOR220 Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 You, my friend, have some strange ideas. I like it. Definitely second Gumball's idea
jaxenro Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 (edited) The rear fin looks good with the scallops the front fins look a little off to me but I think it would be too plain without them and I can’t recommend anything better btw I hope I don’t sound critical I really like it Edited November 29, 2018 by jaxenro
rickcaps55 Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 I will tell you what would happen Batgirl would beat him up and take it from him.!!!! Looks great can't wait to see this one finished .!!!
