Default Sick Paintjob IDEAS!

So im getting all the body work done in stages. In the next two weeks ill be getting the inside floors and trunk all patched up and undercoated and sound proofed. Then i save up for a custom paintjob and have all the outside body work and paint done together done in the next month or so. So i need to start getting some sweet ideas to paint the car in so i can start buying my bullet mirrors and such.

Give me some sick custom restomod looking paint shemes i could go with for the car. i was thinkin a two tone like the new roush limited edition. or i could do all blacked out with some flat black like the 69yearone
any ideas?

I like the 2 tone idea personally.

Orange with black stripes.


Seriously though, I think the two tone idea's pretty cool. Maybe a white or silver bottom and then you could do the top black.

I saw this done on a chevelle my friend's dad did... The car was gloss black, instead of doing an actual vinyl top, he painted the roof flatblack so that it sort of looked like it had a vinyl top...

It was one of the sickest cars i have ever seen

Here is a paint idea I have been thinking of. Orange with black two-tone and seperated by flames. Obvioulsy you would want to get a better seperation of the colors than I was able to do with this program but you get the idea.

You won't be able to download the program. The only way to get it is to buy online and it will take about a week to get it. It cost me about $60 to have one car loaded (67 Convertible) or you can get the whole collection of cars (about 180 iirc) for $300. If you are thinking of cool graphics it is well worth the money. Better to spend it on something like this than having to repaint the car.
Here is a link to the purchase page. When I bought it the program came with a coupon for a gallon of primer ($60 value). Not a bad deal if you ask me.
