I am painting my new 1/8 buggy shell a combination of pearl blue and fluorescent red. After applying the blue, I am not happy how much fluorescent red I will have on the body. I am trying to come up with a way to give it depth to make it interesting. See the attached very crude photoshop to see exactly how much I'll have. I also have fluorescent red wheels and wing like my photochop.

I used white with Fluo Red, the shade is really intense of a sunny day. The pics doesn't do it justice:

add some drips and subtle shadowing underneath them.

What color drip(s) would you suggest? I really wish I would have thought this out a little better!

drips are weak

Add some streaks with a lighter and darker color to give it some motion. It will go along with the breaking apart theme better.
