Got inspired for painting my Formula
 
1 Attachment(s)
Okay. Need some imagination to help me out here guys. I'm not much of an artist on the computer and couldn't get it much better than this. Therefore, think of it more as a paint scheme rather than how crappy I am with Microsoft Paint. What do you think? Basically two-tone black on silver (I know it looks grey) with yellow pinstriping seperating the two..... I would add the Sail panel birds back (silver bird on black, trimmed yellow) and the nose bird (black bird on silver, trimmed yellow) Sound cool? Or crazy...

I really dig Jekyl and Hyde's ride, which is what has inspired me to go this route.

If you like the idea, but not the color, make a suggestion. Sticking w/the black on top, but might change the bottom. Thanks for your opinions

If it were me I'd go with a monochrome paint scheme. But that's just me. :nod:

you might want to throw this in the photoshop request forum. If you upload an original picture of your car someone might try some of your ideas for you. I'm new to photoshop (2 days going strong) but i'll give it a try if you upload the original

If I remember right, it's two-tone paint job more split the car in half rather than at the top of the door. (why do I know this.....) Anyway, not the look I am looking for. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Looks AWESOME man. Thanks. I put it on the Photoshop forum, and no one has even bothered to post. Lots of viewers, but no posts. Thanks a lot man. YOU ROCK. :thumbsup:

I'm absolutely going w/this paint scheme.....little less dramatic on the yellow though.

Thanks for all the pos. feedback from everyone else 2.

:burnout:
