Man you gotta shoot me a pm and tell me how you do that. I will have to go take a better picture of the front of the car and get u to do it again, I love the first color.

Tanks alot ! Looks awesome, thanks for taking the time.

no prob

what i do is look for the 'lines' of the car and follow those. for example, looking at the hood, there is the big 'center line' down the middle; using the 'selection tool' i pretty much try to follow lines like that and just guesstimate the distances for width. it's kind of the same thing for curves; just follow the curves the best you can until it looks 'right'. then, after everything is selected, i usually copy and paste that section so i can change the color. then when everything looks right shape and color-wise, i use the blur filter to help the stripes 'blend in' better. and that's pretty much it.

all in all, though, it's all about practice and taking your time; the first stripes i ever did looked horrid
