Default What do you think of this paint job.

My dad came up with a paint job idea and I would like to know what you think of it. The idea is paint his car white over red (two tone paint) with a blue stripe going from the beginning of the hood scoop and back. By tomorrow I can have some pics posted of the idea.

Well, since you asked my opinion, I think it sounds rather ugly. 3 colors on a car cannot be a good idea. Just my opinion of course. If you like it do it. :cheers:

maybe if you paint the car white first, then paint the lower half red, clear coat it... an put blue flames or a row of blue stars down the side or something.... i just dont think that it would flow all that well, would be nice to see a photoshop of this tho.... maybe if you call up a local painter, he can scetch an idea of what it would look like

ZD :seeya

This may give you an idea, although I can't tell if the third color is black or blue. MJ

If i was going to paint my car a color other than stock, i would paint it a color that no one else had but still use one color. :U

Sorry Dude, but I have a hard time liking ANY two tone vehicle. I'd vote NO! :cheers:

Like most things, if it's done in a way that accent's the natural lines of the car, I think it could be made to work. But I'd probably do some art work first either on paper or on a pic first to make a determination.

No, although it would be patriotic, I think it would look really tacky :U
