Help me decide on a paint scheme!

Five0 · 10-08-2001, 10:53 PM

My server has been screwing up so I hope everyone can see these; if not let me know and I will find another way to get them up.

I would like to know which one you like more!
Photoshop users, if you have any ideas feel free to play with the pics and give me some ideas.

Thanks

Paint the darn thing the stock color and build out the motor. Go for the sleeper look!!! Come on... its an LX Notchback... Not exactly reguarded on its looks. Don't want to look rice-burner'ish...

SWEET, that is exactly like my car, well mine doesnt have pony wheels but the body is exact. Anyways, i like the first paint scheme, the blue flames, i think that looks pretty sweet, im doing either something like that, or im doing an all black paint job then im having someone airbrush on the new mustang lower door logos like on the 98-01 stangs, but at the ends of the logos im gonna have them break off into flames. Good luck with the paint job. also another one ya might think about is using an orange paint, something that changes from red orange to light orange, i dunno i always thought it would look cool.

Go with the blue flames, The last two look like something a ricer would do to make his car go faster. I wish I could do stuff like that on photo shop.

You have the original picture of this? It would be a lot easier to do a paint job on a car that was plain.

I don't have the orignal pic but I have a solid color.

I have to get it painted anyway because it got hit in the door and will be getting fixed soon and I will be getting the whole car painted at the same time.
I have a friend that paints so I will get a really good deal.

Either the solid color one or the one with fluorescent yellow colored flames.

...but PLEASE build that car BEFORE you paint it with any flames!

347 stroker w/ported canfield heads, cam, intake, carb, c-4 w/3400 stall, and a 175 shot of nitrous be sufficient?
If not I have a lot more than that.
