Default Show me your custom paint

I'm thinking of doing some paint work on my 99 vet and wanted some ideas of what you guys have done in the past. I've had custom paint on several of my cars but not on a vet. My vet is pewter and I want to do some black with some red blended in, just some simple stuff. So, post them if you have them. I did a search and didn't come up with much.

thanks

How about ghost c5 emblems on the hood and decklid? This is one of the best pics I can get of it b/c the sun has to hit it just right to get it to pop.

Default custom paint job

[IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]

Three months it took to wet sand and prep car for the body shop to paint my car,I prep and removed everything on the car so all the painter had to do was mask and spray.Custom stripe down the middle is painted on the car,if that helps with different ideas.

That has got to be one of the shinest cars I have ever seen, love the way it looks. Great job on the prep and the paint, want to come to Mississippi and do mine.....

Hey, do you have any pics from the front? I'm thinking about doing a similar set-up on my car, cept probably white on black for a bold contrast. So shiny it looks wet, awesome!
