   I know it's not exactly the same but I had a customer ask me to paint their computer case in yellow / purple... decide for yourself how it looks:
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   It's pretty funky.

   I think it would look good buddy but you need to look through the different shades of purple tbh!

   i was thinking a dark purple, and as im a girl, thought it would be more personal and different to black and mango.
   how do i get someone to photoshop it? lol

    i think it would depend on the shade of purple, and also which parts are actually going to be purple and which parts are going to be yellow . . .

    If you're only doing the rims purple you could go down the funky powder coat route.
    
    Shall dig up some more pictures of cases I've done in purples for you.
    
    This is a colour called Purple Starlight, bought it from PBTP a few weeks ago.
    
    
    
    
    
    EDIT:
    
    This is a "Lollypop Purple Candy" powder shot over a Silver base coat

    smiths photoshop with the purple looks good imo
    especially if you were at a meet, looks well different
    go for it if you like it as it's been said before it's your car and you will see it and drive it so it's only really your opinon that matters at the end of the day
    oh and that starlight colour is a belter
