Hey everybody, I have been looking around out there and alot of people have done some awesome work out there and I am hoping that somebody could help a newbie out??? I just bought my 50 a couple of months ago and I am just finishing up the interior, and I am hoping to start the bodywork next year and I am looking for some color help. I am looking to paint the car Ivory on the top and deep burgundy on the bottom. I love the visor and chrome/stainless, and am planning to put the skirts back on. The wheels will probably be 15" steelies, with spyder caps, rings and beauty rings with wide whites....not sure if I'm going with radials or bias plys. But I could always use some help with my vision or different color choices, HELP PLEASE!!!! I don't wanna go with black, love it, but too many out there, and I love the 2-tone look...so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!! If somebody needs different pics, I can provide any that you want.
did you get this car off of joe? i think the colors it is right now look great on it. although if its the same car i know you definitly have some body work ahead of you and a fresh coat of color wouldnt hurt.
Yeah it the same car, and yead I know I have a bit of bodywork to do, but I have time and used to do bodywork for a living looong time ago so I should be alright. Besides I am hoping to paint the car with acrylic lacquer 100% gloss, so if the panel looks wavy I can always wet sand and re-spray. All I can do is try and try again....
Here's a quickie. The roof was tough because the image was so blown out, but hey, it's free. I didn't touch the wheels, but that's the easy stuff. The color is the tough part, at least to set up. Tell me if you want more red, more cream, whathaveyou.
More deep burgundy, and the ivory is like a vanilla color-not quite so yellow...but it's a great start thanks!!!!
getting closer, hopefully with a little more fine tuning this could really give me an idea of what my car could look like!! I wonder what scallops would look like with this combo??
Holy ****. if only I can make it look that good, well I was told as a kid I could go blind doing that....keep up the awesome work!!! THANKS!!!!!
