New paint scheme? Need your inputs!

[Ciscodog]

I've done about a million renderings of different fades, angles, lengths, etc. and decided that I like this the best.  Now I just need to decide on the trunk stripe.  I didn't think it would fit but surprisingly it seems to finish off the back of the car pretty well.  I'm not usually a fan of graphics but I think keeping the colors simple prevents it from looking like an 80's flashback 

If you guys wouldn't mind, give me some feedback on this look - good or bad.

This is what I was going to do before I started getting "artsy".

Pretty cool.  I like the one with the tail stripe on it like the factory.  Maybe consider continuing the door stripes to the rear of the front tire?  Very original paint scheme!

[Ciscodog]

Thanks - so are you voting for the third pic?  Just the trunk stripe and the black cowl?  Thanks for the feedback!

      i like this one.

I like the third one the best. 

[71 demon child]

Third.

[illfish]

Yeah, I think the 3rd gets it.

[moparrr07]

third one, but what would be really cool is put a stripe on the rear like the factory but ghost it

[Ciscodog]

Wow - the third one huh?  We talked about ghosting the stripe, but decided to put orange pearl in it instead, to make it blend a little bit.  I wonder what it would look like if we did the second one but ghosted the stripe?  I'm not sure if I'm in love with the wild stripes or all the time I spent on photoshop to get it that way

I like #1.

Ghost the design in a light gold...I saw a Red truck done with a very faint gold design painted on, it took best of show at Norwalk...The gold on Red isn't visible till your right on top of it, but it gives a rich look cause most reds have a lot of gold in them...JMO...

[jimmyb]

#2 it is completly different

[bOb shingler]

i like the first one but if you ghosted the strip that would do too.

[moparrr07]

ghost it, or just fading into a ghost forward to back to match the fade in you grafic

[doug 371]

can i see pic 2 but with a black hood

[Bakaruda]

I vote for Purple.

[Ciscodog]

Okie dokie - here's the blacked out cowl, and I did a fade while I was at it.  In the last pic I made the side stripes narrower and longer and raised the whole thing up a bit.

I vote for Purple.

I think you spent too much time on Bourbon Street

 I LIKE # 3

[moparrr07]

i like the 3rd one too, now you can call it the chicken wing dart

[Ciscodog]

I figured someone would say something about feathers

[moparrr07]

also imo you should make the whole hood black not just the cowl, makes it kinda look like an afterthought

That would pretty much be a stock paint job.  I have a cowl hood and a chevrolet alternator, so the 'purist' thing is pretty much out the window.  Thanks though!

[moparrr07]

paint jobs are pretty much what YOU like though, its not something that someone else can or even could recomend

[Ciscodog]

Yep

[PinkE]

I like the new third picture too.... ...Like said...it's what YOU like that matters....

[sickt7cuda]

I vote for # 2.  It's got a nice balance to it.

[Ciscodog]

This is great feedback guys - thanks!  Believe me, the final decision will be what

I

 like.  I'm just trying to get more ideas, like the guy that asked about the black cowl - that's good stuff!

[mopowers]

Just a thought...  What about a red car with black flames?  Might be interesting

[signet]

i notice the background is an orange autumn theme.

try it with more blue green.

anyways nice ride.
