Any artists in the house?

I was wondering if there are any artists that would be willing to do some thing for me. I'v been trying to figure out a paint schem for my 78 camaro and I figured the best way is to find some one to digitaly paint a image of my car with what they would think was a good paint schem. Hear is the picture i think would be best to paint and get an idea of how it would look. Thanks to all who are willing to do this

I always though the paint scheme ive attached to this would look cool on a camaro. it would probably cost alot to have done though. another cool one would be something like the base scheme Dave Blaney used on the #77 in 2003. sorry i couldnt put it on a camaro body. a monte carlo is the only chevy body i have. lol

Not to bad the red would have to be blue though hehe Also I was thinking of a farly simple paint job maby a 2 tone or a solid color with racing stripes. The only reson it needs to be simple is because more than likely me and my grandfather will be paint the car ourself.

I'ain't never been No R'tist... But....

here is my take on the subject.
"You may want a little better job done on the details first if your wanting to show some paint layer , But this is the general idea."

What ever your lil'ol heart desires .... ?
I made the flames a lil to "off "
simple job < --- would be if'n you was to buy one color then mix in a little to get lighter or darker "off" color 4 your flames. Then you'd end up with some type of ghost flames with a cool back ground base.
Go to the paint shop and just see what they have "fubar'ed " the mix on ,and see if there is enough to do something with. They'll usually give you some what of a deal on the price.

And you and your grandfather will have a lot of fun playing with the flame design.

Thats nice too I got a wacom but I can't draw worth crap lol. Is there any way u think the stripes would look better maby wide at the front then with a 45 degrea bend so it gets smaller half way down the hood? You dont have to mock that up but the flames would be nice to see

Now that looks very nice. I think that would look exelent on the car. Would even match the blue flame seat covers. Do you think the black and blue go ok with the camal interior?

Yea the plan for the inside is to do a 2 tone black and camal. Basicly what need re places in the car is the carpet, and head board. The front seats are already covered over with the seat covers. I do intend to paint as much of the trim as I can black. So basicly the only camal that will be left is the dash, the center console, and the back seat. Which I must say the black seats seem to work ok with the other camal parts
