thinkin about a new paint job what you think?

I only have paint so it don't look the best but I think you can get the idea the hood I tried to make it look like the old 60's CHEVY racing stripes for the SS CAMARO'S so if anybody has photo shop and can clean it up and make it look good I would appreciate it. Anyway please let me know what you all think and if you see a way to make it look better please speak up.



Thanks to TJ884RDLX for finding this picture of the ford for me I would like to see one of these in real life to see how it look in person. Here is the look I am after this is my favorite color combination would like to add a white border around the yellow just to make it pop a bit more.

Check some color schemes from the Maybach or Bugatti Veyron (I am serious here). They have a lot of two tone paint schemes in reds and blues that look really good. That might inspire your paint color selection.

I have not seen that till now but that is very cool looking and yea it would be cool if I could get it to look like that. That's a stock ford paint job huh? I was actually trying to add a yellow stripe with white borders thru where the black and red meet as well but now that I see this maybe I will try to find a way to get that paint job on my runner and see what it looks like. The real inspiration to the paint job came from the 90 pick up on here that is red black and white and is going to be on Toyota owners mag this month I believe it is. I will see if I can find that post and add it here so you can get an idea of where my inspiration came from.[/COLOR]
