This should probably be in the photoshop section but I thought I would share with you all.

I don't think I would do it. Not brave enough

We need one of the artist on here to give it a shot. My photoshop talents are obviously lacking at properly executing this look.

I think it might look better if the orange was below the headlights, then up the grill support and onto the hood.

If you are a die-hard gators fan then I can see why. Other than that....don't do it dude, it looks like crap.

Well if your planning on being a race car then it looks cool.
On the street? well, it looks cool.
Driving it that way for years, dont know about that.
Mirrors need to be blue.
But then again i'm someone that painted my 69 black on the left white on the right and an orange stripe down the middle.
Shadow racing colors, way back in the 70s.

I think it looks pretty good, but I agree the mirrors should be blue as well.

Very nicely done 199! Dramatic improvement over mine. I like how you did the curves. Much more like the original.

As far as long term appeal, it might work better without the big white circle.

If they bring back grabber blue next year then this would work even better than windveil blue.

AFBLUE, this idea is kind of like the Sprint look-a-like idea. Great first impression, very bold, different, stand out from the crowd; but could I see myself driving around in the car every day???

Like I said, I wouldn't do it myself. Just thought of the idea and was curious what it would look like. And thanks to 199, now I know.

It is a cool look.

Nole_trainer, I thought you would be all over that Florida Gator look [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen.gif[/img]

I believe I like the looks of my Windveil blue just the way she came to me, without the orange peel! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/04.gif[/img]

Just does not look right on a Mustang, not really fond of that paint scheme on the GT either but it fits the lines of that car a LOT better.

Here's 199's rendering without the Gulf emblem or the White circle.

C'mon! Who's gonna be the first TMSer to have the cojones to paint their car like this?

Think how awesome you would be at the TMS get together in Birmingham this September. Chicks will dig it, guys will think it cool.
