Any cool paint jobs?

I'm going to paint my 88' GTA this summer. I have a master painter who is going to help teach me while we paint my car. We are going to be able to paint pretty much anything. I have been looking for some good ideas. If you have any pics of cool paint jobs - could you post them please?!?

Check out my web site in the pictures section. I haven't got a lot of new ones up yet, but I think you can get the idea.

As a shameless tactic to put my car up and boost my post count, here's my black and silver striped trans am. Its a terrible pic, and wish I could get you a better one. it looks 100X better in person, with pinstripes around the other stripes.

here are a couple of my car. It was verry dirty and still shines pretty good.
pic of the cowl hood looks much better clean more colors

here is an angle shot

this is a front shot

this is before the paint

and this is a close up of the paint 2 days after it was done in the sunset

I will have much better pics in about 2-3 weeks when the car is back from the shop all wetsanded and polished. but you get a rough idea.

Great here come the untitled bitmap images. What a pain to save all these pix. Anybody else get that? You would think they all would be .jpg images or .gif images cause bitmaps take up so much space.

>come on Dirk you have to fix this server issue

Wow someone else with kind of the same idea I had. The only difference is you have your stripe(s) going all the way back and mine stops at the hod. And I got my ground effects painted Chrome Illusion also. I noticed the Fender Stripes verry nice.
