As alot of you know, I recently got in, well, lets just say... a fender bender

Since the car is going into the shop for some body work and needs paint anyway I want to throw some fresh custom paint and/or graphics. I am looking for something smooth that compliments the lines of the car (no checkered flag graphics!). I figure the more ideas the better. Whatever you can come up with would be appreciated, as would pix to help w/ the thought. For those that don't know me or my car, my baby is currently Sunburst Yellow. I would like to go w/ the Inferno Orange Corvette color all around, but cost is still a factor!

Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!
Nick

"if" you are thinking graphics, this link may help ( not sure I can post it, but the company has nothing to do with Kappa Supplies, so here goes )

Voodoo Graphique

Not my cup of tea, more for the Asian Low Rider folks.

What about a white pearl or a gold pearl in the clear coat?

Add some metalic flakes and you have Lightening McQueen from the movie cars.
I like how they did the retro paint on the new car!

**Also, add some whitewall tires

I'm still hoping to see a two-tone paint job on the solstice that blows me away. The solstice has lots of lines and creases that you can break the colors at, but when I see them, it just doesn't have that Chip Foose 'Oh Yeah!' vibe to it. Clearbra's Black and Red is by far the best I've seen, Soul Food: 2006 Hahn Racecraft Soul Food Solstice - Henderson, Nevada, but I'd give a pinky toe to see Foose mod a Sol.

I say go with white pearl that's found on the escalades. Then powdercoat the stock rims gold and put a lite gold metallic flake in the clear.
