photoshop idea

[arkitek]

You know I'm kidding right about the Dodge racing stripes!! Just to be sure before I get flamed hard!

No, no, no. ANY stickers on ANY car look like s***. A plain car is the best, that is what nobody is doing.

Just look at all the show cars, covered with s***-stupid-ass stickers. Go clean, that is what will win shows, if that is what you want to do.

The black does look like you ran through an oil spill and did not clean your car. Yuck.

only reason u'd win without graphics is cuz they throw you in mild class LOL and noone is in that class.

i dont want to flame ya but graphics on cars...eeewww, a blue honda drove by with a huge spoiler, loud exhaust, and yellow and silver graphics...eeewww...looked horrible, just dont do it! imho...

 

[Newf]

honestly....don't do it...please don't do it. Your driving an orange car as it is, slap a sticker on it, and you are rice..big time

I drove past a yellow sunfire today with green squares all over it like a checkered flag. What are some people thinking?

 

[INGREXCO]

Being the guitar player I am, if i got the spicy orange i would want to do this kind of decal to it its all i could think of when i was test driving the spicy orange

 

[rmedoc]

If a clean, simple look is what you are going for, why not do a shadow type effect in the same spicy orange color? I have seen it done on red and silver cars, and it looks hot!(I do belive in car graphics, and I don't care what others think of me or my ride, its mine). I will throw a few together to show you what I am talking about...

...to be continued

Now that would be kinda cool. The other stuff I am not into, but something like that gives it a different meaning altogether!

if u do anything use an orange so u can barely see it, anything else imo is rediculous and way to rice for my liking it looks cheap and like u dont have a mind. heh

 

[Heathen23]

I am not a huge fan of graphics but I will say that a "tone on tone" look or "ghost" look is best. I kind of a like a more subtle look but some paint work is tremendous also. Ghost flames done right or tone graphic jobs looks somewhat understated and professional. There is a forum member on here that has a tone on tone type job with manufacturer decals running from the rear view mirror down to the side sill on a blue MP3 and it looks very nice IMO. Good luck with this if you go for it...it's a bit of a tight rope to walk!

 

[MIA protege]

I dont think any decal could add to the look of the spicy orange, they all seem to take away from its looks. Why cover up a car thats so beautiful?

very well said ... not a fan of decals !

Personally; I hate graphics. But; I'm much older than most of you, so my likes are sometimes different.

 

[rmedoc]

Here ya go. These are 3 quick examples of what you could do using the "ghost" method. Mind you, they are still even a little brighter in photos than real life so you can actually see the graphics. And to answer any questions now, Yes, the 3rd pics graphics is actually the flying M skewed around a little to make it a graphic. Something I always wanted to try, and this gave me the opportunity. The Zip file is of these photos, but much larger.

 

[Aricjm15]

I'll have to go with door number one

whats my prize!?!?!?!?

I dunno, they are not bad looking, its just, not somthing I would do

the flying M kinda looks cool, but I dunno

 

[Ryan]

not bad i didn't sayi definately was or wasn't and you guys are flaming me for it i asked for opinions LOL it wasn't like i said oh this is what im getting i said it was an idea.

 

[Aricjm15]

I'm not trying to flame at all

its just hard to decide on somthing
and its also hard to find something that everybody else will like
so dont listen to the people here that flame, just the ones that help
what about a stripe like the first, only starting small in the front coming off the corner of the headlight, getting larger twords the back breaking off in to virtical bars starting large and getting thinner the farther back they go, but dont start the bars untill the last foot and half or so of the car

 

[Ryan]

i like the third one, not big on the first one i dont wanna copy tara (dragonbabe) she has something similar to that want somethign different.

 

[Aricjm15]

true true

 

[rmedoc]

Yeah, the 1st one looks like Tara's. I love her ride, and thought the graphics might look good on an MSP. If I had to pick though, I love the way the Flying M came out. But, its up to you anyways. If you need more photochop help, or more ideas, just give me a holler and I'll whip some up for ya!
