Give me ideas for painting a '36 Ford Coupe.... April 24, 2005, 01:25:07 AM Okay so not a real one, but my end of the semester project for my "model finsihing" class is to paint something. Most people are doing costum mail boxes, but I just had to do this. I need some ideas on colors of paints. I want it to look mean. Maybe some sort of two-tone paint job? I'm alright with an airbrush so minor graphics (i.e. something seperating the two-tone colors) are possible. But mostly, i want it to look like a badass. Please help... Here's what I started with, but now it is shaved and smoothed. Post anything from pictures to color suggestions. Thanks everyone. Quote Selected

Reply #1 – April 24, 2005, 01:31:23 AM Does that picture mean you like (or don't mind) cars with purple on 'em?If so, I would suggest looking over the picture gallery at MysticCobra.net and seeing if any of the color-change paint jobs strike ya. Personally, I like "Ocean Extreme".. blue-green-purple.. and, I confess, I'd love to use it on my '88 as part of a two-tone, just to be really odd. (but possibly used sparingly if at all, due to likely high cost) Quote Selected
