I have been going to a few car shows last year with my 2007 Mustang GT/CS. I plan on taking it to a graphics designer for a custom paint job. Anybody have any ideas, flames are soooooo over used. I've been searching the web for pictures but had little luck. It came withfading stripes on the side so maybe something on the hood scoop and the rear end?

 

I know you just said flames are over-used, and for the most part I agree with you, but since you've got the faded stripes down the sides (and I assume you want to leave those alone), and your paint job looks pretty deep and sharp as it is, what about doing something like ghost flames? Where it would just be a different shade of red (or maybe a few different shades mixed in, I don't know how they do it) to give the car a bit of a sleeper-graphic design but still something to catch your eye.

I saw on an episode of Overhaulin' or something a design with some scary blue/black ghost things on a white van, and I've been thinking I'd like to get some evil dark blue-ish looking horses or something on the sides of my white Mustang, but for your car's color, and given you really just want something on the front and rear ends, I'm not too sure. You could get some weird tribal designs, but those are kind of ricey, or some unique stripes done, perhaps.

You could always just take it into the kind of place that would be doing the painting and talk to the graphics artist about what to get done. I'm sure they would have lots of cool ideas which would fit the lines and color of your car.

 

I met a guy in our club that has a '04 gray mustang, he had flames that were in the shape of skeletal horse heads. You had to look close to see them hidden in the flames. Really cool looking. I'm going to visit with his artist at Cosmic Rogues Fantasy and Science Fiction Illustration. Yes, they will do a rendering of your car for $150, but it would be nice to have some kind of idea before hand. The stripe I like, but it mightlook a little plainwith the new graphics. Thanks for your input.

This stang is kinda ricy but the paint job might look cool. Paint the whole top of the car black and leave the rest red.

 

Rousch Racing has a roadster that looks good. Black on the top broken up with a nice pin stripe and red on the bottom.

 

I have a video game called Forza Motorsport for my Xbox, where you can paint cars.
If you would like I can paint somthing up and show you what it would look like. Im pretty good at it too. Heres a link to some of the cars I painted. http://www.freewebs.com/forzapaintjobs/index.htm

 

Heres what I got. Sorry for the bad pics, there taken off of the tv.
