Paintjob opinions/advice/ideas

My color of paint for the '86 T-bird has been chosen...Lapis Poly Ford code:M6563A
Now I need some help...I've been thinking about putting Boss mustang stripes on it like the picture below. I've also thought of making it 2 tone...like the TC...black on bottom blue on the upper, or should I keep the flames? Anyone else have ideas?

well come up with something to go along with the name of your project. and it will be origional since it is what you named the project plus it would have more meaning.

I think the stripes are cool,but I'd leave the "Boss" off of it.Everyone would immediately think "Mustang" when they saw it(in my own opinion).It would look pretty sinister with the stripes,though.

How about a color close to the actual animal like this. A dark green at the top faded to light green at the bottom with black reflective viynle stripes.

what i was thinking with the kameilion is depth........ if you look at the stripes when its darker...it'll look like its dented in.........when its light it will look pulled out
