Candy Apple Green Formula......

I was just doing some photoshop work, and I always wondered what my car looked like in Candy Apple Green. The reason why I wanted this color, is because it it on some 1st gen Camaros, and nobody has their car this color really. Do you think a single white stripe would look good? I'm doing the DZ302 motor definitely, and then maybe this color green with a white racing stripe. What do you guys think?

I think it looks good man after starring at it for a bit. But I have to hand it to you..that is THE best photoshop job I have ever seen!! If you sized down that pic maybe 50%..know one would ever know that is is altered...do that and then say you actually painted it and see what people have to say!!

Thanks, I didn't think it looked bad myself. Maybe I will resize the pic, I just had to run real quick, so I posted it as fast as I could.

Thankyou for the kind words.

Actually, I got more time to sit down and make a better shade of green, so here it is. I tried downsizing it, but it looked like crap.

incredible photoshop job,man!

I like the second one better, try taking off the pinstripe(s) on the bottom.

I can def see what you're going for and think it's pretty hot. I don't know if i'd go for it personally, but it's still cool.

If you really want to be different (***** daddy ) just paint it bright silver..... rare, stylish, and not straight up gay like the avacado green you got there .........

Well, I do have this blue-ish color I did after the green. I think the Avocado green is different, and would look pretty good, if it had some metallic coats too.

Anyway, here is the blue color.
