Paint Scheme

[IHeartTurbo]

Me and my dad have decided we are both painting our project cars when it comes time to do so (some time next spring/summer). Because of this, I've decided to try designing a two tone scheme because if I end up not liking it I can just repaint it. I'm having some trouble designing something I like though. I don't want it to be anything real flashy. Just enough to be different from the millions of other 1Gs out there. Here's a few of what I've come up with. The only ones I really like are the last two.

Can anybody help me out with some ideas or photoshopping something (I can send you the PS file)? The colors don't need to be black and red, that's just what I used. I don't really want much white because I get it dirty too easily, and I don't like yellow, orange, or green.

Oh yeah, and this is going on my 1Gb Talon. Neither me nor any of the guys on NewEngDSM.com could come up with a good pic of a light single colored 1Gb Talon so that's why I used the 1Ga.

Actually I like the second one down from the top, The bottom two seem to dated to me and the others are just not working well with the body lines.

 

[brad98rs]

I like 2-tone paint jobs alot. Here's a little quicky i did.

 

[Whiplash]

I like the second one from the top, and the third one from the bottom the most.

 

[Catbox_95]

I like the second one from the top the most.

 

[titogs95]

I like number 2, 5 & 6
But a lot more number 2
Good ideas something different and still look good IMO


Why don't you make a poll?

 

[blaster1812]

I like the second one from the top the most.

 

[Zexell]

2nd from top is best.

 

[DSMcrazy3]

I agree with the 2nd from the top, I would try the stripe silver though. See how that looks.

 

[sYnOnYx]

im gonna have to go with the 2nd one too.

 

[RotaryRyan]

Yup, 2nd from the top. It goes with the lines of the car better.

 

[blueman803]

Turn the second one from the top blue and pull the stipe all the way down to the bottom of the bumper following the wheel well.

 

[morbid_eclipse]

im gonna have to go with everyone else on this one...2nd one from the top is the best

 

[GILZTSIAWD]

I like the blue one.

 

[eclipsh]

I am planning on painting the grey trim on the bottom of my black 1GA red. I'd PS it but I'm at work

Otherwise, I like the diagonal cut but I'd take it all the way to the front bumper and maybe run a thin strip or red or silver around the very bottom lip of the front. Just a thin accent line. It'd also be nice to do the bottom picture that way; ie with the top red and bottom black.

Could you email that PS file to me too? Thanks.

#6

I guess im going to kind of go against the "grain" here, I like the 3rd one, but think it would be better if the cutoff point for the black was where the hood stopped, so you had black hood, lights, and top. Maybe, just maybe part of your bumber, cant decide that. Then smoke out your lights and tint your windows!

 

[gibby]

I like #5

 

[bzzzt]

#2 is my favorite as well, however i would make the dividing stripe significantly thinner.

 

[ECLIPSE4x4]

I like number 1

 

[trapspeed]

#2 man.

 

[BacknBlack92ESi]

Numero Uno

 

[Pure92TSi]

I like the first one, i don't like the white strip in the second one.

 

[WHite97RS]

# 1 or #2 but with a smaller stripe, like a nice suttle thciker pinstripe

 

[speedy13]

i like 2,4, and 5,but 2 the best.
4 can work for you better with a CF hood,and maybe a Ram air effect. but then your car would start looking wild.
