All your paint jobs look totally awsome, I really like them. But I'm wondering how crazy to get on my 87 TransAm. I want something different. But I also know its a 3rd gen. I want a one of a kind paint job. Its red in color right now. I have T-Tops. We will be painting it this Spring. I was thinking of keeping it the stock red, and going with a pearl, or some sort of stripping. I was thinking about a flake in the paint...but I really dont think that will look all that good. Any Ideas at all would be great. Or websites to look at. I tried to do a search for custom paint jobs and got a couple ideas....but nothing that says "I'm the one"
Thanks

I saw an AWESOME one about a year ago: there were lizards which looked amazingly 3D painted all over the car. On the hood, there was one large lizard. Half of it's body was on the hood and the other half was painted onto the interiot (dash panels, etc...). The windshield was very clean and pretty much totally transparent. It looked like the lizard was crawling into the car throught the windshield.

 

THIS IS MINE I JUST FINISHED TODAY CHECK IT OUT!

 

Thats pretty Sweet! I like the 2 tone. Any others?

 

Not that I like it, but it's different.

 

thats pretty wild too. I like it. I was thinking on even going all floresent colors.
Those are some great paint jobs so far!

 

I'm just gonna throw it out, because it's still one of my favorites.. My car...
And, no, I didn't paint it... But I love it...

/Selfless picture whoring..

 

well if you want a one of a kind paintjob...the sky is the limit. But if you want something that will stand out like a sore thumb to passers by, and go with what you stated in your post (stay red, put flake in paint) go candy. My 86 was maroon, and when I repainted I was gonna stay the same, but then saw Kandied91z's candy paintjob on here and decided to go candy myself. My basecoat is EXTREMELY metallic (though pics hardly show it) and the candy's ability to shift color and even 'glow' under certain light makes people take notice that it's not a typical paintjob. Check my cardomain for more pics, or shoot me a pm if you're interested as it might be the direction you want to go

 

now those r some aqsome paint jobs!!
YES I want 1 of a kind! I want ppl to sat, WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT. THAT WAS SWEET!!!
Thats what I want. A real head turrner!

 

Well there are 2 ways to turn head.

1. Nice classy paint job that people will drool over. Solid color, maybe 2 tone, clean simple graphics, etc.

or

2. Stupid, mismatched color scheme, trashy graphics/stickers/banners, and other things that people will point and laugh at.

I like the first option and I know other people do too so it's win-win.

 

Don't like the colors but that purple/orange camaro would look sick with 2 different colors... perhaps black on top and red on bottom?

 

if anyone saw the episode of Rides where Foose designed Joe Rogan (from fear factor)'s Cuda....that is what my next thirdgen paintjob will look like!!!


..and Im talking about the red/black/silver concept Foose deigned, not the retarded one color waste, Joe forced them to paint

 

That's exactly the paint scheme I want to do for my car I think it would look HOT!

 

Funny you should say that. I was glad Joe stood up for what he liked instead of going with a cookie cutter Foose paintjob. Foose still has talent of course, but he's sold out to the generic all the same mods as the last car general TV watching public. He doesn't THINK anymore.

 

Can you get a pic of it?

 

I'd like to see more variety, too, but at least you can count on his paint schemes being much better than factory. I guess to preserve ratings, he can't do anything really "out there".

 

Could not agree more, if it's your car do it the way that will make you happy in the end.

 

well maybe foose isnt so original anymore, but at the same time this wasnt overhaulin.....and whether or not that scheme was 'cookie cutter' or not....I just felt that a cuda with that much work could have used a little more effort in the paintjob than silver
