Need opinions on my project paint

[Smitty67]

All,

I have a little father/son project and would like some opinions on the initial paint scheme. Like or dislike colors, stripes, etc. Things you might change.

I like where to paint lines break up, but I would make the stripe smaller and get rid of one of the colors: yellow or red. I think the yellow in a smaller stripe with the same theme would look good.

The current paint stripe reminds me of the show cars in the 80's and early 90's. I like the looks of those wheels :thumbsup:

i personally am into the restomod look myself.. OEM colors and no stripes or at least OEM style stripes, then some big wheels and lowwww.. Never been a big fan of stripes and two tones on early camaro's.. i have seen some that look good though. Bad Penny is a good example of what i like, just clean and one color. Something along this style, not a camaro I know, fesler has some killer builds on the website..

I Like it, maybe just thin up the rear quarter stripes a bit if it were me.

I like it. Do you have a rear 3/4 view of the rendering?

I like the two tone, but I think I would use different shades of colors to split it up, variations of silver, matte blacks, etc., to make the split more subtle, and less "in your face". Looking good dude:thumbsup:

Yep, Kris is working on some different shades. Good feedback.. I don't have the rear 3/4 view yet..

I'm surprised no one's picked out that paint scheme yet. It's basically the exact same one that's on Foose's 2010 Mustang that he did with Mothers. David asked me to try that scheme out first and to build from there. We'll be changing the layout and the color scheme to be more unique shortly. The yellow/red really isn't a very appealing combo and looks really dated in my opinion, so we're going to try some more subtle colors next. I'm sure more renderings will be posted soon!

By far #3... at least for me. The brighter colors where the 2 tone meets is too loud and overpower the rest of the car/paint scheme. Less is more. Of course, this is just my opinion. You're writing the check for the paint, so whatever you like best will be best. :thumbsup:

#3 but i think the black should be on top and charcoal on the bottom ...

[hiwayman]

#3 stealthy

[camaro2nv]

Yep 3

[LowchevyII]

i would definitely say #3. It doesn't look as dated as the other two bright striped paint schemes. the charcoal is a nice color to break up the black

[rjsjea]

#3...for sure

I like #2!!! That would look awesome.
GOOD LUCK!:cheers:

[mantaray]

I would go with 3, I think the colors blend together better.

[ADCTD2CRNRS]

Chalk up another vote for number 3 without question it has a timeless look that just kinda grabs you.:yes:

I agree.. I like the colors on 3.. I had a recommendation in another forum to lose the stripe on the hood.. Might see how that looks.

#1. Add some shadowing in with an airbrush to give the rear section a 3d look.

Guys,

I went to visit a painter (artist) this afternoon in Euless Tx. Holy Crap, did that guy have some skills. His name is Johnny at Sycotic Designs. I've never seen so much detail than the stuff he had in his shop. My son was beside himself. Dad, look at this! Heard that more than once..

I was interested in his work based upon some of the stuff on his web site.

He was in the early stages of a Corvette custom so I couldn't tell much from it, but the motorcycles he had in the shop were simply amazing. Obviously my project will be much more reserved than the projects displayed on his site, but I came away knowing he could my car stand out..The web site does not do justice to the work I saw first hand.

I think I found the guy to bring this beast to life..

:beavis:

Very cool. Keep us posted with pics please. :cheers:
