I am finally going to get my Fiero painted. I would like to have a few ideas to show the bodyshop what I am going for. Here is a front and back view of the Fiero.
And here is the paint idea that I like. It even has the rims that I want.
I got this photo from the traxxas RC model car website. I 'm not sure on the red,yellow, and orange graphics, if I want them straight up and down or slaint forward or backwards.
If you're set on those graphics, I'd say they would look best slanted, starting from the bottom, slanting towards the top. It would look a little faster then just straight up and down.

Here's my attempt. I think it looks alright, especially with the wheels. The images used to make this one were kind of small so the quality isn't the best, but you get the main idea.
Hope you like it. Took longer than I thought.. maybe throw a + my way

I really like what you've done so far, that's almost exactly what I'm planning on doing with mine. The wheels look good, but I think that the paint scheme takes away from the great lines that you've got going. Maybe something more verticle.

WOW! CC4, That looks great! + for you. Now that I see the paint on the car, I think I will make the red and yellow graphic area skinny and keep it behind the window. Maybe, slaint it down the backbone of the car, behind the sail panel. I like the black in the middle of the car, because it will hide the T-tops that I am putting in the car. Now, about the ribbed molding. Should I leave it or paint it?
BTW, Now I am set on those wheels. I just need to find somebody, besides Boyd Coddington that sells them.
I really like the wild paint - it'll definitely make the car stand out. And that last rendering with the more-slanted graphics really gives it an agressive look.

I feel like that paint will kill the look of your car. But hea, its not mine.
You should give these guys a strait on picture of your car from the side, like the one your refering to. They will be able to give you a much better PS job.
