Re: should i?

Honestly the reason I wasn't going to add in on this is because I like complex paint jobs. The same ole' 2tone / 3tones are 'played out', to me, its boring (same goes for flames and stripes, when used the way everyone knows they are used).

Now don't get angry I am just letting you know. I was always told if you have nothing nice to say, hit the guy...ha ha, J/K.

I guess if you changed the yellow to red or orange and the bottom to a silver/gray/gunmetal then I'd say go for it.

No hard feelings...?

Re: should i?

I would stay away from the yellow separating line and go with a different color but it is a great paint scheme

Re: should i?

I like the 2-tone scheme you had origionally, just wasn't crazy about the stripe being yellow. An orange or silver stripe I though would look great.

There is a 3rd gen drag car around here that has a 2-tone scheme similar to that, but black bottom, pearl white top, and instead of the thicker line dividing the color, he had a thin, silver color barbed wire pinstripe dividing the color, it looks phenominal!

Re: should i?

thank you for your opinions, but i'm pretty set on the last one. I think it's subtle and i like the way the stripe stands out.
