painted stripe ?

[YALEROYNOT]

so I saw this on fiber glass forums site and I liked it. I have talked about this type of stripe before on the alero. I would like to do a two tone paint silver and dark blue and a gun metal stripe like this

is there suppose to be a picture or are we suppose to imagine it?

EDIT: my computer didn't load the image at first. nvm.

Actual Comment: Step away from the paint gun. It wouldn't look good on our cars, imo

[CBLOHM3400]

draws attention two tone would look good

[FrankTheTank]

that caprice is hot, but the engine bay looks like poo.

[natedawg9640]

looks like they ripped off the skyline in the beginning of 2 fast 2 furious. i was debating do virtually the same thing on my WRX but instead of paint i was gonna do it in white gold.

[alerored04]

NOOOOOO!!! Our cars do not have the body lines to pull that off. It would look like poop IMO.

[deathwish666]

im with the no side

just banish the idea

or get someone to photoshop it and show you how bad it looks...i would but im to lazy

[bizarre179]

I wish i could see the picture (im at work right now). But two tone aleros usually look pretty good. IMO.

Off-topic : I like that "IMO" is overused in this forum, in order to protect the feelings of others... imo.:p

[whiteliquid]

Is that nosweat's car?

[Midgear]

yep.. love that color blue-

[bizarre179]

Its a beautiful car. Just not a big fan of those stripes up the center. The sides look pretty sweet though.

[bdyman]

that is nosweat`s car, and it is all a big sticker, when doing graphics ya gotta do what flows with the car, flows with the body lines and doing graphics is not easy its allot of drawing, planing, allot of experience
and its costly

[Midgear]

.... that is one hell of a sticker.

[adam337]

he also took it off his car.

[bdyman]

yup he sure did, and it was allot of stickers not just one big one

[_01Alero_]

The side stripes wouldnt look good because of the curves of the alero. The stripping is too blocky. But two tone is definitely cool!

that actually doesnt look too bad IMO. maybe different color choice, and lowered a little, but not bad.

[Redog]

Yeah I wouldn't do it.

[natedawg9640]

i can say in my defense that i really did get quite a few compliments... especially on the color choice. what goes with gold better than burgundy? not a whole lot.... IMO <--- ha! IMO

[NickAlero2000]

those are my old school colors...that car is ftw definitely for me!

I got a lot of compliments on my wing too.. :lol:

[natedawg9640]

i don't think the wings are that bad... especially on a car with a full body kit... the car is already "rice" to some... the wing fits the relative style... and therefore i don't mind it... it's when people put them on stock bodies where it looks terribly mis-placed.

agreed 100%. when you put a wing on a car with a body kit ect. it looks fine.

when you stick a giant wing on an older model ford escort, spray painted black with a donut on the front drivers side of the car and the hood painted red and a white passenger side door.. then you have a serious problem. (I have seen this, and I almost ran off the road trying to figure out what I had just seen.. laughing my ass off)

[natedawg9640]

and the people that complimented me on the burgundy graphics on the ho were not just the people in said ford escorts... they were attendants at gas stations... beople i'd see walking out of stores... it actually went over decently well... there were some haters... but that's where you resort to the .... "well i like it"... i did the design and install myself and every person i saw that worked at sign shops and stuff always complimented me on how there weren't any bubbles in it and how thorough i was in wrapping all the door cracks and into the jams and stuff... it was fun... i did a friends crapalier too...

[Midgear]

I kinda like the graphics you put on the car.. I like it a hell of alot more than a giant wing on a bone stock mercury mestique.

crapalier

LOL
