They are all interesting. For the second one I recommend keeping the lighter color on top and the dark color on bottom. Anytime I see someone two tone a vehicle or have the idea I always recommend dark color on bottom. IMO it should be the law haha. I like the first one though, looks great. Can you make me one of those with all black and that first stripe design in a charcoal color? If you could that would be awesome! I was thinking of doing something similar but would love to see it first. Either that or like a Challenger R/T stripe down the side of the fender coming from the hood down into fender and door.
Been toying with the idea of changing my 80 and # 3 is what I had in mind. Currently all dark blu, but would like to do something different. #1 is interesting , but think on a dark color like mine , moght be too much.
the last one you posted is my new favorite.. all it needs is a cowl hood with a matching stripe on the angled sides of the cowl
ahhh you posted another before i got my post up.. :dontknow: second to last one then.. charcoal with the silver stripe :You_Rock:
I like the 4th one, but think it would look lots better with the colors reversed. But it's your ride guy, go with what you like.
Last winter, I made a side view copy of a white 83 like mine from the galleries, printed it out. Ended up making 60 copies, colored diff paint schemes with colored pencils and markers. Would stick 10 on the wall for a few days, eliminate ones I didn't like, put up some more. After 4 mos, narrowed it down to one. Will send pics of it once I get it on the elco. (Hint...it's VERY different for an elco!)
First off let me give you a hand on some great photoshop work. Second I would say the 3rd is my favorite of them all but like everyone said it's your cruck so do what you want.
the cruck in the pic isnt mine i just wanted to use it as a example but im leaning towards the 4th idea. thanx for the kudos on photoshop. im going to school for graphic design i'll have my AA by next summer.
i think the 1st one would be nice. you could have that black stripe follow around the back tailgate, with some red pinstripe outline, and dark limo tint windows, and lowered a lil bit.
I like the 4th the most. Some of the other ones look kinda bland or even like a factory color scheme. It all depends on what kinda look you're going for, but I think that 4th one looks pretty unique
Number 4 is pretty cool looking now and different. I like 1 and 4 now... I really think it's all up to what YOU like though. Do not let us change your mind, you will be the one living and driving with the car as long as you own it.
Good luck with your pick and just to help you they all look good.
