Default Going to Paint in a couple days and...

What paint scheme, design or anything should I go with? The car is going to stay the same base color (Cheaper) but should I do a racing stripe, talon stripes, two tone (half up top/half below). I've done a few little things to try and come up with ideas but can't seem to get settled... I love JonBeast's car but I dont really want to make a replica...

Doughboy4.6 is refusing to help if it's not 2 tone matching paint themes, (EDITED FOR DOUGHBOY4.6) Thaks for the help anyway Eric!

Please help, my cars going to paint right after New Years. BTW I hate flames unless its a hot rod.

so you want it left green??

if you want a 2 tone... make the upper half white... seperated by a black pinstripe... the seperation should be where the body line is below the window.

if you want stripes... go dual 4 inch wide stripes striaght down the center... white.

and what exactly are 'talon stripes'?

Yes, green. My painters willing to repaint the car but doesn't want to do a full color change unless the price is right. He's already giving me a great deal so, since I like the green it stays. My problem is, with a black top and tint, black would be my only option in another color I think. Talon Stripes would be the last 2 pix. 2 stripes down the sides of cowl that come to a point... Didn't know what else to call them. HE's also shaving the door handles.
thanks

I see how it is, I give you my paint man. I told you what I would do with the car and you come bash my idea in public. As for the gay trio who is the seaman here....

My painter is Changing my Vert top and painting with what ever paint design for under 3 grand. Top's $765 alone, I know cause I just bought the current sliced up top last summer. Thanks but color change is not an option unless I have lots of extra insurance $$...

Yeah color change would be sweet, If I did do a color change it would be 2 tone Comp. Orange with a 57 raven black top...

Bold and Fast

Your a pecker, Then you should have gave me more ideas! And I wasn't a seaman I was an 0331/0321 US Marine, so poo on you! I love your idea with your car, I just don't want to copy anyone! Yeah, and think about it, you and I going to the Bench together this summer showing up in matching cars. We'd have to take the Old Lady's every single time or they'd think we were light in the loafers... Love you MAN!

I don't think stripes with a convertible would look right. I've seen some and just don't like em. I'd do a two tone. Something that really compliments that color green though with the pin stripe seprating the 2 colors.
