Gloria painting, quick quick!

Just finished airbrushing my gloria silver. But before i take off the masks, should I:

A. Leave the car silver
B. Paint it black and leave silver stripes
C. Paint it black with flames on the sides (As seen in the articles section)
D. Paint it black w/ flames on the sides and silver stripes on the main section (as seen in the gallery on a camaro)

I think that painting flames on the sides with no hood design makes it look a tad tacky. And i think black w/ flames and stripes is a lil' kinky. But that's just me and i can get over it.

WHAT DO YOU THINK!

I'd go with your first instinct, which seems to be D.

oh yeha, if i were to do any of the ones involving stripes, after u cut out ur masking tape stripes, how do u put them on so evenly, just estimating roughly or measuring how far in from the edge of the body the strieps are w/ a ruler?

yea I just estimate and see how the tape lines look

If it were me, I'd put one big off center silver stripe down the car.. Kinda off to the right of the hood.. Ya feelin me?

Paint the rest black, and hit all the details.. Good luck, and show us when you finish it...

hmm...normally payaso, i would do that, but since i've only done a couple other airbrushings and it's hard to get that kind of thing right, i dont want to increase my chance of fubaring things up.

came back from painting, came out 65% perfect. 35% needs touching up because i removed masking too early and some problems occured. i'm gonna have to respray the back later and do a lil' handpainting. pray for me...
