greys with lots of other colors.. blues greens reds.. everything you have

just try it on a separate piece of paper and see what color works for you, its easier and faster than asking and waiting for a reply

i have issues with silver. as u can see. i just drew the ground brown and made it reflect. i guess its a shortcut. im what u call a "Lazy" artist lol. good luck btw. let us see it when u do it. i looking forward 2 it.

try doing a dulled down version of chrome. If u use green grass/blue sky with other coloured cars such as red cars, the grey should be the same, just like girlbears drawing, but a bit less standy outy
