    i'm an automotive painter and the first thing is what is your budget for paint (and body work if needed). that will pretty much tell what path your going down, also think about future repairs if needed. yeah crazy paint jobs are cool and i've done my share but if something were to happen i.e. rock chips, accident, vandalism etc, then the repair could be costly. also think about what will still be cool five years from now. hope this was helpful.

    Yes, the many shades of green can be pretty neat, but you do need someone to photoshop it for you. It's an amazing tool that can at least help you weed out those certain shades of green you definitely will not like.

    Flat black is a nice color. My plan is to add a green metal flake roof to this.

    Here is a quick one because I am still at work. I just could not bring myself to leave the Dark Red scallops on because it was too busy actually hurt the car. I put one subdued scallop in a darker silver over the headlight ring if you look closely. Oh I would not think twince about putting some nice wheel covers also.
