    I gotta throw some more paint on the old caddy, gettin tired of seeing more rust, so I'm gonna hit the bad spots with the wire wheel, and rattle can it me thinks. Debating colors, whether to do the roof white, leave it black, or go with something to match stripes. Purple is just what I used for photo shop, but any color ideas are welcomed, shoot, any other photo chop ideas are welcomed.

    First photo is mostly as it sits right now, with the drop photochopped, and the bottom of the body lined with white so you can tell where it ends.

    Second is just some wierd paneling ideas I had, along with the roof.

    any other ideas, greatly appreciated. And I have these in high res too.

    That looks like a pretty nice car, way too nice to "hit with a wire wheel and rattle can" and I'm not really into the way-out wild paint jobs on cars unless they're full on customs. Why not just do a nice repaint in shiney black? It sure looks good in the first pic, I don't think you could improve on that.

    And if there really is some rust issues, cleaning it up with a wire wheel and painting over it isn't going to fix anything. Sandblasting clean, then an etch primer, and an epoxy, will get it taken care of permanently.
