Default paint scheme

Here are a few I am playing with. Look past all of the flaws. I am not the best with a marker.
The silver centers are suppose to represent a brushed looking surface. For some reason I could not find a brush aluminum colored marker at hobby lobby


Please tell me what you think of them and what I should consider changing. Thanks

Awesome dude,

I'm a big fan of the blue and silver myself. Some things to change? Think about:

Overall stripe width...right now, it looks like it lines up with the grille shell, think about following the lines of the hood, (Wider) or, try thinner.

Pinstripe width...the marker makes it look like .5 or.75 inch, try thinner, or thicker.

You have a few details indicated other than body: Trim and wheels...I like the black hoops, can we add a little blue? I been on a redlined tires kick here of late...Bluelines?? lol and the black trim is awesome.

There's all kinds of ways to change it up. Sometimes you just gotta look at it, and think what if?

Hopefully my insight has helped...even if its just a little help haha

Seriously, thanks for the replies.
That's funny you mentioned pin striped wheels. I have always loved red stripes on black wheels.

I guess it comes down to these as of right now





1) flat blue stripe, with gloss black divider, fine metallic silver body, and blacked out wheels(gloss), gloss bumpers and accents

2) metallic blue center stripe with flat black divider, metallic silver body, flat black wheels with blue pin stripe, and flat bumpers and accents

3) metallic blue stripe, gloss black stripe, metallic silver, brushed centers, gloss black lips and bolts, powder coated bumpers to match wheels centers, gloss black accents

4) ???????

I'm diggin' 1 and 2.

The reason I'm not into number 3 is because of the powder coated bumpers and trim. I don't feel it should match the wheel centers.. haha then again, I'm partial to the black trim, I think it would look good on a '67 Stang. I think Gloss metallic blue, gloss silver, and flat black would be better, flat black bumpers/trim/wheel hoops. I think that's number 2? lol

Keep us posted man.

Cool. It's nice having a second opinion.

I was hoping to to get a little more imput while not really trying to recruit an artist. I am glad that is how it ended up though.
