    I have a pic of my old car. If I don't trade it I am looking to paint it Pearl white with dark blue fenders/running boards. Deep blue wheels.

    I will also be adding a visor on the windshield. DOn't know if it should be blue or white.

    Also should the pearl white have a hint of blue?

    Is there anyone on here that can photo shop this for me?

    Please don't paint the visor the opposite color that has to be the biggest mistake people make, in my opinion it just looks wrong.

    any help would be nice.

    I agree the visor must match the body color

    While you're asking for photoshop help you might want to consider other two-tone options. Body one color and fenders another color is not the most flattering combo.

    I am up for anything. Color are relative. Just started with those.

    A cool custom paint scheme with nice wheels/tires would be awesome

    I like 2 shades of the same colour. It just seems to flow but just my opinion.

    I painted it blue tinted white flake like you asked but I cant pick wheels for you, Im just the photoshop guy. I actually like the original wheels. And I tweaked the blue a bit as it looked very green otherwise.

    Thanks for the pic colors.

    Now seeing it with white/ blue don't know...

    Love the blue not in love with the white.

    Got any ideas on colors help out.

    Paint it something to make it look cool.

    Carry the fender color up into the body.

    Help would be greatly appreciated.

    This is a car I think would look great wearing one of the recent new car colors. There is some very cool dark browns and maroons on new cars these days. Think of a dark brown or maroon and a light brown/tan color on the wheels. Put some subdued white pinstriping on it and stay cl***y...

    Heres something quick ish. I remembered this hotrod image I had on my comp that was a royal blue with gold pinstripe and had a kinda racing look about it. I think it goes with the feel of the car. easy enough to change things now I got the do***ent saved.

    I like the all blue...wife loves the acme sign.

    How about blue top/fenders. white center?

    The running boards are also going to have to be painted the same color as the car. The black rubber has to be redone and there are so many other options to go with for that.

    Thanks..keep them comin.

    IMO, silver looks good with that dark blue, maybe even a darker pewter color. I also agree that maroon and brown really fit that body style well. The all blue with emblems looks cool. Random thoughts....

    I kinda like the blue/white.

    I know everyone goes with the brown, tan, black or maroon or something like that. Just because that's what they had back in the day.

    I would like that something that when you go to a show everyone looks at and says..now that's cool. Not look at the car and say..Wow just another one of those.

    I have a visor for it. Heck I could put some other stuff like spot lights, fog lights and other stuff on it.

    How about a deep garnet red not a maroon and white

    Or maybe a blue and pewter or reverse.

    I wasnt sure if this red is right, google says maroon comes from horse chestnut where as garnet comes from pomegranite. so if its not right, google image a pic and I can match it.

    I know you want a visor but Im having difficulty finding an image to use, if you can find a pic of one you want from the side then I can add that.

    ill add the other whistles & bells when youre happy with the colour.

    I just noticed you said blue & pewter, ill do that next.

    I think I came up with a happy compromise.

    & in the old colours.

    ok these running boards

    How do you picture them? If I remove the rubber youre going to have bare metal. I can do that. If you want rubber, I imagine that would have to be black unless you can paint it red or find red rubber. Or you could do tuck and roll in a red material or white. unless you have some other method in mind.

    Whoa there little buddy - the fashion police will be along soon, 'cause the tri-colour thing is getting outta hand.
    The solid blue colour looks best - let's see a few more one colour views in different hues.
    Just sayin'.
    Cheers.

    Now those are funny looking..

    As for the running boards. We are going to remove the rubber. We have been looking at some other options to replace the rubber.

    So please paint them red to match the fenders and top.

    Other than me adding the visor and some things awesome job. I really appreciate it.
