i like it!!! traditional 2-tone but not. i have had bad expierences with a mid-coat silver pearl over silver... looks "blotchy".... i would suggest some spray-outs to see if it gives the effect you are looking for. for the super bright orange....look at HOK tangelo... has a gold pearl in it...and doesnt get much "brighter"

Are you going to have a 4" cowl hood?

I think that's an awesome paint scheme. I would leave off the lettering however...no matter how ghosted it would be.

well as far as i know its a saleen color... been around a few years, its a popular color on S7's. i will see if i can find the actual name...or better yet a code for ya. (i guess that nasty mustang habbit of mine IS good for something

)

I'd tone down the lettering or leave it off. Maybe 1" high letters max, if you really want to put it on.

Overall, I really like it

That looks sweet!

I would have to agree. How about a darker silver for the bottom? Best bet is to pay the bucks and have Kris Horton to a rendering. You can then change the color scheme from one end to the other with little effort or additional cost and end up with a better color selection.

Roger's got a point. Though you seem to have the basic design down, I could help you check it out from different angles and work on the lettering. Not trying to post a shameless plug or anything, but if you want to be sure on the paint scheme and not spend all your money getting it painted only to find out you would have liked it different, I might be the way to go.

There are other artists too though. McBride does awesome work as do others. With me you'll get a more precise preview of the paint perhaps.

Looking good either way man!

Thank you everyone for the positive feedback. For about 6 years I was just planning straight silver. Then I heard of the Mule and now I see more and more members going silver. So then I decided to paint flames down the entire car but didnt want to take away from the sexy body lines of the 69 Camaro. So like always I wanted to do something different so I went with the 2 tone.
I will try to answer some of the random questions.

race-rodz,
T/y for the compliment and if you could find that color it would be greatly appreciated because thats the color we want for my GF 67 Mustang Coupe.

rockdogz,
Yes the 4" cowl is staying for sure because almost everyone else is running the 2" cowl.
I want to keep the Illusion on the side but it will be straight pearl orange meaning it will be basically invisible. Not bold like the crappy photoshop.

Roger Poirier,
I want the Viper silver 100%. Keep in mind that is a crappy photoshop I did so it doesnt look right at all.

Ricochet,
T/y for the compliment.

yodester,
I would really like to try and keep the name but it will only be in pearl so it will be almost invisible. I just want to do something different to help set my car apart from the rest.
The Illusion is many different things but mainly because it looks like an old 69 camaro but will be eventually equiped with as many modern products as possible including the 4th gen interior. Remember, I was the first to put this entire interior into a 69 Camaro. Now its becoming more and more common.

Kris,
You are by far one of the most inspiring artists with your car renderings. I think my girlfriend is tired of hearing me say "Damn look at Kris' work, he is god with those renders" lol
If only I could afford the software..
I will get ahold of you and would be more than honored to have a render to duplicate my car.

Thanks again everyone for the feedback. I know it wont make everyone happy but at least its not just straight silver like I was planning. Its not easy creating a design for a 69 Camaro without destroying the sexy body lines.
