Trying to decide on paint scheme.
Option 1. Black with Ghost Flames.
Option 2. Black with lightning(blueish) I'm not talking about silly huge bolts, but very fine throughout the body. Guy in my lightning club when I owned one had it, and it looked GREAT.
I need something special for this car... Car is getting flares, big block hood and has the fender louvers on top like the daytona vettes.

if you do black for the paint then i would just go as dark as u can and put alot of clear on it.......... flames are ok if done right...alot of times they are over done and done really crappy....... u could do a bit of metallic flake.....or maybe some white pearl...that might funky it up a bit

I like them if they are done right. It takes a special painter to do them so I would be sure to look at some of their other work to see if you like them or not.
We were at an F-body race a few months back and there was a 72 Camaro there that was painted '04 Corvette Spiral Gray Met. w/ barely visible ghost rally stripes. Holy crap it was beautiful. I didn't even noticed them until the 2nd day of the event. That was the best job I've ever seen done myself.
