Painting thoughts

well during school i've been bored so i played around a little with photoshop and my car. this is an idea of what i wanted the color to paint my car... the color looks flat but yea really all i could do with. the true colors are jet black and like a candy green.

one hood is for the z28 hood thats on my car.. with the two racing strips

and the single one is for a ss hood that i do not have.

Re: Painting thoughts

I'd go with the first pic. Painting the GFX would be too much IMO.

What's all that white stuff on the ground? It was 80* here today.

Re: Painting thoughts

Re: Painting thoughts

Re: Painting thoughts

wow you took my idea sort of. My camaro is going to be black and green. but I am going to sort of have the two tone theme going bottom black and top of the fenders up green with black accents also going to have the seats reuholtered green with black inserts and the rest of the interior black. Looks good though keep it up.
