Here's a few pictures I took today, Probably the last pix to be taken of the car while it is Red. I am in the process of buying a house, and as soon as I do the Formula will be torn down to nothing but the frame, quarters and roof and be rebuilt with either a 355 TPI engine or a Buick turbo 6, built 700r4 trans and the car will be repainted a different color. I was looking for anything but a red car when I bought this one in March of 98, and have wanted to repaint it a different color ever since. I am still trying out paint schemes, the majority will be Chrome Yellow, but I am 2 toning the car and haven't decided on the second color yet. Anyway enjoy the pix!

 

very nice car and yellow would look really nice.

i hope that isnt your future house behind your car...

 

Im thinking you should go with yellow and silver or yellow and black

 

see no love for just another red Firebird

 

yellow? I dunno, I like the red. everything you've done so far is tasteful as hell, so I'm sure whatever you decide to do will be cool too. Two tone might be pretty nice looking. I'd have to see it I think.

 

get a red interior

 

red interior.....

 

where would you put the the second color? as racing stripes? heritage? (never seen heritage stripes on a bird that i can think of)

 

I was going to do the a and b pillars, roof, rear spoiler and Ram Air 1 hood scoop in the second color.

 

Yellow with red stripes. I've seen this scheme once, and it really looked good for some reason. I know it sounds weird but with the right kind of yellow it looks good.

 

Good luck dave and custom is always the way to go if you wanna break outta hey theres another red firebird remark. You will move into the "hey there is dave getting gas"...lol Hope it turns out great!!

yellow and red (or orange) does look good. the chevy extreme trucks came yellow with like reddish orange and looks great.

 

yellow and silver looks great seen a bird with it the same two tone you are wanting

 

Not a big fan of two-tone personally. One-color thirdgens look more modern and classy IMO. But judging by your taste, whatever you do will look good

If anything with yellow I would go with black or dark grey.

 

someone needs to get a pic of a yellow formula and start photoshopping!..lol

 

yeah, yellow and red...i've seen it....McDonalds.

I think one of the first vipers to come out in 93 was a red with yellow stripes/wheels.

I can't help but think Ronald should be driving if its a red/yellow combination.

I like the idea of silver and a charcoal accent color. I also like the deep metalic oranges (sunset and such).

Here's a couple really quick color changes.

 

i kinda like the orange.

 

and hulkamania

 

mines silver and charcoal



its a camaro though

 

Can I have your old red paint? mine has faded...

 

What is with your choice of back drop?



Better red than... umm, purple?

 

Agreed Yellow and Gunmetal would probably look cool Maybe get the spokes/hub of the rims powdercoated gunmetal and leave the outer part chrome/polished??

 

here is one, i sux at color changes, but this is how i think you wanted it...

 

Pretty good job Some of the red from the old paint job is showing, but that's ok haha. Gun-metal is actually dark than that gray too, but props for trying Something like that would look pretty cool, w/ the two colors meeting at the body line exactly like that

My future F'Bird will be painted similar to that, but gunmetal on bottom and black on top. Or maybe candy blue bottom and black top. Now that I have a good photoshop program, I can start doing color changes to some of the GTA's I've found here and elsewhere on the web.

 

I didnt really take my time on that or i could have gotten the red out but i just learning CS2, i was using Photoimpressions, CS2 is a different world, but im getting better at it, Thanks for the complemient

 

I've never even heard of those hahha. I was using Paint and MS Photo Editor for a long time, and I finally got Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7 the other day, so now I can start doin' some real good photoshops

This is one of the MAJOR 'shops I did using Paint and PE...



I took a pic of my lowered 4 door Cavalier and then did this:

Shaved handles, locks, extended & molded GFX, slammed it, cut the back off and turned it into a mini-truck, molded the mirrors, and added the clear bumper markers to the back. Not too bad for basic, free editing programs. The car originally looked like this...



Now that I have PSP 7, I'm gonna do some 'shops of GTA's so I can get ideas for the future when I buy one

 

Yea, its alot better with a real photoshop program, here is a new one of the bird,

 

Awesome!!! Looks kinda "diahrea green" but still much better lookin' than the quick shop before

 

hahaha...Cavalier looks better as a mini truck than a car...here is one of my ones i took my time on, just done recently for the TGO photochop contest...

 

and the before...

 

Thanks Some day I prolly will hack the car to pieces to make a neat lil mini-truck. The deprecition on them is huge, so it won't be worth selling neway - I paid $7K for it, now (if it was un-modified) it'd be worth like $5K and I've had it for two years only. And since it's currently a project car, it might be worth $4K since there's a lot not-yet-done on it.

 

take those ridiculous rims off of this picture and put his on there and it would look way better

 

That car looks too nice to rebuild.

I'd keep it and build another in a different color.

 

Thanks, but earlier this summer I was driving up north and saw 3 Red Formula's on the way. and every other day I see a red Firebird or T/A.

That photoshop is nice, but the two tone on the hood is only going to be on the Ram Air 1 style hoodscoop, the rest of the hood and nose will be Yellow. But it gives me a better idea than the crappy picture I colored out of a greyscaled image of Zephyr's car
