It looks like you are trying to go for a digital camo pattern, so I might keep more gray, and even a bit of yellow in it further back. The challenge, I think, will be getting clean straight lines from the plasti-dip.
Good luck with your project.

Ha ha...I was absolutely blown away until I saw that it was photoshop.
If you can reproduce that with plasti-dip that will be really impressive. Not something I care for, but it'll peel right off

Ive been wanting to lower my car for awhile now... my old driveway prevented me from doing that. Pulling in or backing out I literally had millimeters of clearance. Now that I dont have to worry about that... Im thinking I will lower her this summer!
The lines will be a B****. If I cant repeatedly get nice lines when I try it out on my durango.... Im going to scrap it. Im thinking about using this photo on a projector projected onto the car to tape off the lines? Or it seems like a good idea hahaha

I like it...it's different and somewhat reminiscent of MARPAT 'digital' camouflage. Give it a try! 
BTW I wouldn't label people as "haters" simply because they dislike something. It's OK to dislike something and to say so publicly (albeit with tact and diplomacy). Expressing differences of opinion is a good thing!

If your mind is so open, let him do it to your car. Actually, this explains why you like it so well...LMAO

Correction... get "YOUR" haha
So after playing around with some plastidip for awhile... I started playing around with photoshop and came up with this. We have a huge vette car show in september and I am thinking about trying this out on my vette. Gonna run through a few practice runs on my durango before I try it on the vette... but I think it would be a fun project to try and a cool way to get some crazy looks from people.
This is just a quick photoshop job and I still have a few things I need to do before I start this project... just wanted to stick it on CF to see what you guys think. I know some of you (EDIT
) with different tastes will not like the look but I thought it would be something new to try.
The "paint" is plastidip and can simply be peeled away without leaving any residue on the car. The taping and painting will be a pain in the butt... this stuff dries to an almost rubbery type of paint. So if you tape everything off, let it dry, and then try to peel the tape.... it will pull everything off with the tape. With this pattern you have to do small portions at a time. Almost as soon as you spray you have to remove the tape leaving it wet. It will be a slow going process....
I love the yellow and love the C6Rs so I wanted to sort of play off the C6R theme and come up with something unique. Yeah, its a bit over the top but I dont plan on running it like this forever. Its temporary and just planned for the large Corvette show we have coming up in September. After that she will probably go back to Black/Yellow. Plus who buys a vette to be subtle? Go big or go home boys...
Hhahahahahah I love CF... I think this is the second time Ive stirred the pot and have had such a great turn out!

I hope it turns out as well as your rendering, it will look great
