Ghosting would look good as well.

wow. a burgundy stripe under a couple red coats and a few clears. wow. Jon, that is AMAZING work. Take pride in that.

EDIT: the only thing I would change on the above concept, though, is the placement of the hash marks there in the center of the door handles. also, what provisions for the gas door have you made? that has quite the potential to look unclean and very seamed. or is it seamy? seamful? aw, hell, not clean.

Actually, I removed the gas door to see what it would look like on the other side of the vehicle. The decal does clear the door on this side, if it was there. The hash marks were placed evenly, they just happened to land above the door handles, but if you removed them, I think it would unbalance it.

I also tinted the windows and I have another version where the car is dropped about two inches with clear corners. The way I set up the layers, I can make the stripe ANY color. wink

Honestly, the work wouldn't be that good if the side shot wasn't so nice. I'm also not happy with some spots in the stripe, the outline isn't as clean as I would like. Guess that's just how it goes, eh?

Personally I'm not a fan of graphics on GP's but if I had to pick one I'd go with that one. I like the white on white look on your car, only problem is it isn't really a GTP. wink

The last few are quite busy with the sections. I would go with the pearl one if you go with that many sections. Plus you have the idea, you can put those sections anywere you want when you paint. So they don't have to be cut over the handles or what not. And being a painterartist, Andrew, I would highly recommend getting into Photoshop just to save you money and wasted time on painting physical things and deciding if you like it or not. I really want to learn more about PS also.

I liked that ghost effect, or maybe even an orange pearl...I've seen some cars that have crushed glass mixed into the clear coat, and liked that look as well.. cool
