20+ years in WI has not been kind to my bird's paint. I plan on getting a new paint job this spring, I've mocked up a general idea and have messed around with alternate colors, and such. Excuse the poorly drawn formula. Tell me what you guys think. all input is welcome.


:Frito revamped my vision into something more defined take a look a few posts down:

 

It is not to my taste but I do think that the overall idea has alot of potential.
I see a conflict between the front fender and the doors for the width of the black. Could be just the drawing. I also wonder about the width of the gold stripes.
I would play around a little more. Come up with a couple of variations on that theme and even put some tape on the car to help decide for sure.
In the end it is what you like as it is your car.

 

I might be able to make a better mockup if you send me the high res version of that pic.

 

Yeah It was just a reference pic the actual width of the stripes will be much narrower, But it was on MS Paint. I'm no Picasso :P Yeah I can send you the picture.

 

I do art work for money as a hobby, I'm no Picasso but I know photoshop well and can draw.. Never did anything to cars though. I got free time I'll give it a shot.


I need the original pic before you drew over it :P

 

LOL mah bad, http://s1050.photobucket.com/albums/...t=DSCN4979.jpg is original pic I took last summer or something.

 

kk cool

 

Many thanks to Frito for workin on my mock up for me. Looks alot better and much more realistic. It was raining today and many people asked me on Facebook when I found time to paint my car LOL

 

That does look better. I was thinking that I might bring the front gold stripe even with the front marker light as it is behind it. The marker light then makes part of the stripe that way.

 

It looks like you taped off the car for paint. That yellow line is a bit much IMO.

 

As i said, it is just a mock up, the Yellow line is going to be gold and will be less as contrasted as the picture shows.Hell This is still a bit away from being started, I just have a vision of how the car is going to look, and I'm using this picture to atleast put it on paper so others can see. I'm thinking about moving down the bottom stripe all the way to the lower trim.

 

I wish I had a better picture to work with, I'm disappointed with my shoop work.

 

Lol don't even worry about it man

 

I know but meh I can do good shoop jobs :P
Did you come up with any other ideas.

 

yeah I was thinking of making the back end of the car black, basically where the deck starts to the rear end of the car. kind of like a charger style. and moving the lower gold all the way to the skirt of the car

 

I'm not a fan.

I think the original paint scheme looks great.
