You don't have to try this if ya don't wanna... I realize it'll be very difficult if even possible...
could you put a paint job as similar to this one as possible on a third gen (doesn't matter which car)

Thanks guys...
btw... that is a 1971 Baldwin-Motion 454 Camaro (shew, gives me chills just typin it)

As much as I love the first few years of the 2nd gens,, I have to say.. that is a pretty ugly paint scheme. That's cool if you like it though.

2ndly,, 3rdgens don't have enough rear deck to paint like that so it would be tough to edit a pic to look like that.

Doing a paint scheme like that on a thirdgen would be a peice of cake.. though I'd tweek it a bit, nothing major though.. If you located a pic of a thidgen similar to the angle of that pic I could do one up for ya.

Ok, how is this for a really quick one.. since the thirdgen is black, I did red strips instead.

I think that looks pretty good for something different. If you really took the time to tweak all the lines to perfection I think that would make an awesome paint job. Looks cool!

I have an old car mag about a balwin-motion camaro. It is a great read basically telling everyone with a sports car not to think about messing with this one.

Hey NXS055, I got the lines straight by using the straight line Lasso, then shifted the color hue, highlight, ect. All I have is Photoshop 4.0

Here is my version of the Baldwin-Motion 454 Camaro. I used prowler orange, because I thought it would look cool.

That looks pretty good, I wasn't sure if keeping the strip would be ok.. Nice job.
