What's your paint scheme fantasy?

I may be able to get my car completely prepped and painted, for the cost of supplies (Paint etc..). And basically what I was offered, was that I can do anything I want, so long as the painters get some say in the scheme. My hookup in these whole scheme is a friend of mine, so I won't get any naked lesbians on the hood

They've already suggested ghost lightening bolts, and I think that could be cool. My car is bright red, so I was also thinking about adding some black hash marks, or something. Give me some ideas

Personally, if I could do anything I wanted, cost not being an issue.... I'd have to have SOMETHING done with either chrome illusion or that ghost flame technique.

I think that I would keep it rather simple.

I would get an SS hood and paint the scoop with a ghost blue and also get the GS hash marks, also in a ghost blue.

Thanks for the replies guys. I've been looking at a ton of cars on the users rides portion of the site, trying to get some ideas.

I know that I want to have a very clean car. I'm going to debadge, shave handles, fill in the pontiac on the bumper, and try to remove those door guards on the doors. I'm also going to do what I can to smoothen out the hood, without any ram air or cowl. I was thinking of having the hood almost look smooth, but accented like the C5 hood.

As for the paint, I love fourth gens, but my true passion lies in first gens. I was thinking of keeping my colour, but maybe adding some more metal flake OR having it candy appled, and added the black stripe that went around the front end of first gen Camaro's. I'll try and find a picture of that to show what I mean, but if you've seen one around, you'll know what I'm talking about. And then on top of that, intricate ghost flames.

How does that sound?

Any kind of flake paintjob looks like *** on a performance car IMO.. definately go with the candy paintjob, but don't do both stripes and ghostflames...

Personally, I like CamaroCasanova's schema:

It's bad@zz, I would do something like that. My car's white so I would get the ghost flames.

If I could do anything I wanted, I would paint my car black with some kind of redish tint clear coat.
