Well, I'v been slowly helping my father restore his '85 Camaro and I'm just as slowly going mad thinking about flag pattern paint jobs so I fleshed out a simple photoshop of what's been floating around in my mind for the last 6 months.
All opinions are welcome, and if you can post a beautifuly done flag pattern paint job, please do so.

 

Downright hideous.

 

I don't think so at all. It's nothing I would ever do to my car, but its laid out well, and the design itself would look sharp for a show only car.

If that's what you want man, go for it!

I believe there are several 4th generation show/race cars with flag paint jobs, try searching on google.

 

I absolutly love it....i think that it would be awesome if you got it done, and if you dont...well know you got it floating in my head

 

good for a show car, not so much of a daily driver

 

if you are going to use the car for a daily driver, i would suggest having a solid color with maybe some sort of flag design going down both sides...or even race stripes done in flag....or both, that's just my

 

hey I recognize that car pose! I personally like it...I remember seeing a gts done up similar in a dupont magazine and it looked incredible

 

Show car, yes. Daily Driver, Drag, or Solo, hell no.

 

Very much could see that in Show

 

i personally think its pretty cool..id love to see that done. Yes, it would be kind of awkward to drive it daily but hey, i love the stares and my car is just red. I say go for it

 

Youll never get pulled over in it

 

looks nice

 

I think it is kind of cool. just don't do it in metal flake. seen a few bass boats and ski boats done like that and it ruins it.

 

had an idea - what about a black car, with the US flag used like flames. you could do the blue with stars on the nosecone and part of the hood, then transition to the red and white stripes that end in tattered edges (like battle-flown flags in movies) much like flames on a car.

Just an idea.

 

that is great! I say do it! I like the idea for american racing stripes.

but def do what you photoshopped. IT is good to be different, especially when that different is good looking.

 

I prefer this flag inspired paintjob:
EDIT: can't get pic to upload but here is a link to a bunch of pictures of the car:

go to "customers rides" on the left and it's near the top on the right side. It's a 41 ****** Dragster

 

I agree with most of them... I think its fine for a show car but not for a daily. I like 3.1EyeCandy's idea better... that would look kickass.

 

Just a quick side profile I forgot to add

 

Camaroguy18, Thank you for the awsome pics. They are a dream to work with. Not only do you have a very sweet ride, your photographs are probably the best I'v seen of a Camaro. BTW, sorry for not asking before using them. I picked them up some weeks ago and lost the ownership info.
3.1EyeCandy, JeremyNYR, and MetalliCamaroRS: I beleive all three of you are about right on so I decided to try a quick tattered and "flame transitioned" flag on black body, I know this isnt exactly what you had in mind, but its the best I could do on my lunch break.

 

now that looks SWEET!

 

now that idea i can get with for a daily driver. nothing wrong with that as long as they are not too bright... kinda go with the ghost flames if possible. would look very swwweeeet...

 

IMO, this is good, but the stars gotta go, looks too *******-ish to me...

 

Jeez, how many word blocks do we have on this board?!? Yikes. They really oughtta tone it down a bit, I mean, we're adults right?

But yeah, those stars in the last pic remind me of the General Lee.

 

"But yeah, those stars in the last pic remind me of the General Lee."

Yeah, It's the General Lee's younger Yankee cousin, Colonel Cam(aro) J/K

 

wow thanks for such nice compliments, you can use the pics all you want, as concepts...I dont mind

 

THATS SICK love it

 

If it was toned down, with shading, that second one would totally own.

 

Go somewhere with that!

 

theres one around here with a paint job exactly like that.....i saw it very often last summer....i'll see if i can get some pics next time i see it.

 

I hear ya man, I'll have to talk to the mods about this... all I said was "redn3ck"

 

I'd love to see it, thanks.

 

yea that tattered one rocks...the only thing Im unsure about is the stars on the front.....reminds me too much of the confederate flag

 

Yeah either completely leave out the stars or make them bigger and disribute them better across the whole front clip.

 

Kinda like this?

 

I think Im going to stop now. Obviously my skills cant quite suceed in recreating what I have in mind *sighs* If anyone else has a campy/cheesy Idea for a paint job, make a request here and I'll be happy to try to create it.

 

i think that last one looks great...

 

i like that last one you should do that if your not happt with your photoshop skills i'm sure theres a few members that would help you out. There is alot of talent on these boards.

 

i have a request. could you make a red car (a deep red metalic) with some flat black ss stripes that start to tatter about halfway up the hood and continue to tatter to the end of the hood, but not go up on the top of the car. doing this on a cowl hood of some sort would be cool.

 

Here you go. I tried working with a long tattered look but I just couldnt get it to work this morning.

 

The last one with the stars and stripes would look unbelievable and it was exactly what i was talking about

 

wow! *right click, save as!*

that's my car! that's what i want it to look like!

can you email me a printable version? thirdgenbum@msn.com

 

that last one is awesome, the stars look better, and I like how they go past the top of the bumper, but onto the headlight buckets, and front gfx as well

 

My vote goes to the last stars and stripes one as well.

 

They are all awesome I think....Love the idea.

 

can someone post the blank of that? i really want to play around with some racing stripe designs...

 

I'll send you a blank if you tell me what style you want
5 inch spoiler, 3 inch spoiler, no spoiler
T-top or hardtop
Plain Blank hood, Z28 Iroc Naca hood, Ram Air Hood, or Raised Cowl hood
Or anything custom that you want
