Fancy paint jobs.
Anyone have any good idea for a fancy paint job? My car is going to be repainted white in a few months and I am getting the bug to create some really cool paint job. Unfortunitly I am not very artistically talented (nor can I spell ;). Anyone seen some cool paint jobs on a white vette before? I think a C3 vette has got to be one of the hardest cars to try and do this to. There are just to many curves and angles. And even worse, the 79 has no cool chrome bumpers to really set it off :(. Anyone have any pics or ideas.
Dont know if im really serious about doing something like this, but I thought I would see if you guys had any good idea ;) Thanks, Aaron |

I always liked the Baldwin-Motion paint schemes, with the wide stripe and the completely painted tail. Easy to do with a white base. You can always do something with the coves, whether bold or subtle, such as a flag design (USA or checkered). Theres's always the full body waving flag, where the front is Blue with stars and the rest of the car is red and white stripes - how wild do you want to get? :D

Oh man, have you opened a can. Do you realize the ENDLESS possibilities? Ghost flames, ghost flags, solid flames, solid flags, stripes, designs, murals etc. etc. Just because you have a Vette, does not mean that only Vette paint jobs will work. Take a look at hot rod sites. Look at other cars designs and incorporate them into something you would like. MANY, MANY possibilities. A good paint shop should be able to incorparate ANY that you would like on your car. Good luck, and once your done, let's see it. :thumbs: :flag

:iagree: there are endless possibilites. i saw a 74 drag vette/showcar that was bright yellow with a purple splash on it. the front end looked like a splash of water, only purple. ive seen puzzel piece stripes that looked badass i saw a viper that was red/white stripes with navy blue flames. the flames had perfect white stars in them. it looked amazing.
personally, you cant go wrong with pearl. ghost flames, like on vetteflame79s or ghost stripes, or just a coat of pearl over a solid color. ive always love a nice coat of blue pearl over a nice bright white. are you doing any body mods? i highly reccomed the 80s rear bumper :D [Modified by '79ProwlerOrange, 4:48 PM 1/18/2003] [Modified by '79ProwlerOrange, 8:48 PM 1/18/2003] |

Re: Fancy paint jobs. (QuickVet)
I put my vote in for Ghost Flames :cool: :steering:

Re: Fancy paint jobs. (Metal_Wulf)
I agree ghost flames are cool on any car,ive painted cars,helmets,and harley gas tanks,and flames are my favorite.Or how about the opposite of a grand sport ,blue stripe down the center with a 1/4 inch pinstripe on each side of it.

Re: Fancy paint jobs. (QuickVet)
QuickVet, let it show your own touch/personality! These ideas are all great, personally, I would go with some ghost flags or stars & stripes of some kind. By the way, where are you getting it painted? :cheers:

Re: Fancy paint jobs. (QuickVet)
When it comes time in a few years...unless accident speeds up the process...I plan to strip and repaint in the colors of a shark, white on bottom edges, going through green/blue/dark blue/gray/black up to the top side....
with ghost flames out the side scoops.... GENE |

Re: Fancy paint jobs. (QuickVet)
I thought you were doing classic white like it was.
I like flames. How about 78 pace car combo? |
