actually near the end of WW2 american warplanes where left bare metal, in part to save weight. (but also because in this stage in the way planes rolled out of factories faster than the axis could shoot them out of the sky...)

anyway, if you have an aluminum car like an audi A2 or a delorean you could save a few more grams by not painting them.

if you paint the car choose a relaxing color, this will cause you to drive slower and save gas!
