RE: which paint job should i do (pics)
I'm a big fan of orange and black, so I'm biased towards that one. Here's my latest with those two colors; I love how it turned out:

nice job bcmorris, did you forget to paint the wing or did that on purpose? And venom_racing, I think that the RX-7 is a better choice. Although you can use that design on the the skyline since the skyline body is a little nicer

thanks for the advice, i like the idea of doing the blue,silver and white design on the skyline body. I'll print out another template and see how it looks.

I also prefer the blue and white, but I think the copper/black design on the Skyline would look good if the black followed the lines of the bodykit.

Thanks for the comp! Normally I'm a big fan of symetry as well, but I really like the two offset stripes. A cobra body looks great with the two symetrical white stripes down the center. I also normally work in odd numbers ... the blue being one element, 1 white stripe, 1 silver = 3 elements ... it's the graphic designer in me.
I think that's what's so kewl about this forum, is seeing how everyone does stuff differently.
Have you finished that body yet Venom???

i personally find that 3 element design to be a nice balance witht he thicker stipe offsetting the smaler one so it doesnt feel so weighted.

i know you said when you had it masked off it looked wierd, but keep in mind, it will almost always look a bit wierd because the tape will make it look like your perportions are all wrong. i just recently did one where when i had it taped off it was wierd but it always reveals a nic elook when done.
