Re: paint scheme

I like the colors, but not the layout. Follow the body line with the color transition, no dip above the rear wheels...that is where I would start

Re: paint scheme

I love the scheme but yes should follow the body line. I dont even think the dip would be bad I mean what can I say, my pin stripe turns into flames above the back wheel. Just cant see it well.

Re: paint scheme

Re: paint scheme

I like your second pic, but carry the white all the way down to the pinch weld.

the white is suposed to be all the way down to the pinch weld, but i dont know how to shade it to make it look good, so i just went half way down.

Re: paint scheme

i think following the body line and still doing the dip would look cool. also center the dip over the rear wheel
