Car Stripes - pick one - Twitchin Kitten - 08-06-2014
OK I'm making a poll and I want honest answers and suggestions please.
Poll is multiple choice and public results.
CLICK EACH IMAGE TO SEE MORE CLEARLY!
Stripe guy said to toy with the idea of two toned stripes. He suggested red but I'm not so very keen on the whole red bit. I'll look like some hokey uber patriotic dork driving around IMO. TenFour said it will look like some company's food hauler (i forget what company he said).
So I went out and took a pic of the car and shopped the red and then I thought about my own idea and I came up with the exact blue color as the car and moved them in a little - same width of the stripe so they don't get lost against the car paint.
So tell me what you think and make a suggestion if you have and I'll Photoshop it to see what it looks like.
Plain white stripes:

I don't care for the red at all.
I think the last pic with the blue on both edges looks best.
It also needs a gas, grass, or ass, sticker.

I'm with you Twist. I like the blue on blue but I still like nothing but the white. Plain white makes it look more 'Shelby traditional', which I like, but since it's a new car, why not a twist to the stripes? Then I go back to plain white again. I got time to think on this too. I need to know since it's going to be the last set going on.

I know what you mean. I'm still thinking about knocking that bike apart and going for the powder coat, but gotta decide on a pattern.

go with carbon fiber look. then add a little color somewhere. I'm not sure where. Feel free to email me or upload a large file size (bigger than 1200 px wide) image of the bike frame or whatever you have now of it and I can play around with photoshop for you like I'm doing with the car. It really helps when you can see it.
Give me a couple angles and the front head on.

I guess I just need to take it apart and go for a ride. I can pick something when I talk to the guy.
RE: Car Stripes - pick one - Twitchin Kitten - 08-07-2014
Well I was thinking that on the front piece where the handlebars and fork slide into that fat short tube you can put HK's face there and the rest carbon fiber or whatever else you decide to paint it as.
