A little wild, but what do you think?

Recently got my car back from the paint shop. Had the dark bluish-grey metallic racing stripes painted on under the clearcoat. Then I added the orange stripes in normal pinstriping tape in case I ever decide to sell the car and the new owner didn't like them. Added Bat's Overlays to the headlights. 3/10 tint, and have some more in the mail for the foglight lenses. I photoshopped this up beforehand, so I knew what it would look like. I love it! I wish that I could lower the car, but speedbumps are abound here and I scrape over a few of them as it is.

All opinions are welcome. I know some peeps won't like it and that's cool, but I wanted to show it off a bit anyhow.

I actually like the orange stripes on the outside of the gray stripes. I even like the wheels when you did them, but the summation of all the different stripes is starting to be too much in my opinion. Your car is starting to remind me of paint scheme from a 70's powerboat or 70's conversion van.

I recommend taking off the orange stripes above the side sills. The thickness of those stripes doesn't blend in with the other accent stripes.

I like the stripes but the orange I could do without. Too many colors IMO.

Hahahahah, awesome.

Like ViperJohn, I really like the orange pinstripes accenting the gray stripes and the wheels. But the stripes above the sills are too much and take away from the elegance of the car. This is, of course my opinion. You liking the car is really what counts.

I agree about the orange stripes on the side. Had the same thing back on my '72 Chevelle...in '72.

LOVE the gray and orange combo and the wheels. Original and sharp.

I hear you guys. People aren't used to seeing the stripes on the sides, but I was thinking about the Ford GT's stripes when I came up with them.



The thing that bugs me about removing the side stripes is that there is an orange lip on the outside of the rims. And when you see the profile of the car, you can't see the racing stripes and there is nothing to tie in the orange. I'll photoshop out the stripes on the side though, and see what it looks like.

I was good with the Top Picture of the Hood.
Then I saw the wheels and thought, "that might be pushing it"
Then I saw the side and confirmed it.

Black stripes look GREAT!

A bit too much for me overall though.

[MacManInfi]

Thanks for the feedback guys! Keep it coming!

I've been staring at it for so long I can't tell anymore.

not digging the stripes on the side of the car or the wheels. 02

i love the gray stripes with the orange
i love what you did with the wheels and how they match

if it were my car, i would lose the side sill stripes

consider going black on the gas cap and the center caps. then you will have only Orange, Red, Black, will look more sharp to the eye imo

[MacManInfi]

Photoshopped the same picture without the side stripes. Still looks good. Looks a little tame though! hehehe

[ViperJames]

It looks totally different than anything I have seen. Totally original which I respect more than anything you could have copied. So I say.....

I really like the stripe on stripe, but I agree the side sill stripes are too wide and are bordering on excessive. Very cool to see someone stepping outside the box though!! Congrats!
