paint design idea...
please excuse the crudity of my beautiful ability with the paint brush in photo shop. I plan to get the aftermarket parts soon and paint a bit down the road. also removing the door molding and stock pinstripe, as well as the chrome molding i had around the doors and hood a while back. i didnt mess with it in photo shop, but i will keep the car white, and the paint thats in black, well, it will be black.

imho that will look terrible. Not much wrong with the center strip, but the riced hood scoop and crazy random lines along the side just don't flow with the rest of the car.

Ya, I'm liking the top one, but the bottom 2 are supposed to be alon the top of the side skirt and the other filling the gloove along the door.

There is such a thing as "temporary paint", I got some from Autozone or someplace, but never used it. Try that, I'd like to see if it works  |

way to buisy for this car, this car needs a simple line, not something from the fast and furious
second anytype of graphic, just isnt the graphic panles have to be preped for anything to stick sometimes we have to base the car with the orignial color if that was what your doing, and then lay out the graphics and then clear.................sand the clear down and re clear the car so there isnt a big hard line showing
and racing stripes, are time consuming, and very costly to do the hood roof and deck lid have to be repainted completely for just racing stripes the cost would be about 2k give or take a few misc items
that obviously was a restoration but it still took me all day to lay the stripe came back the next day and cleared the car
your ideas are cool but i think ya need to see that they cost money |
