Help me pick my track car paint scheme... - Page 2

C with the following:

Move the most forward green verticle strip on the door more forward to make room for you numbers, class, etc. It will also allow you to carry the green on the rocker more fully. Also find some way of getting green on the front end. That's way too much black. Maybe carry the green on the rocker all the way around the front. It just needs to flow a little better.

Also, think about down the road. it's much easier to pull a bumper, rocker panel, etc and paint it one color...

I like A but I like C more.

paradisenb · 08-29-2009, 08:11 PM

I like C. I think it needs a little more room between the stripes on the doors for the numbers. Maybe some green on the hood around the numbers.

A.

garrett376 · 08-30-2009, 12:37 AM

I like A best

C seems very busy. Neat color selection - they work well together.

Any more variations?

Only variations on these vriations. For example, on Model A two things have come up to improve the design slightly. First, adding a bit of black in those areas where the green meets the silver will give the green a bit more pop.

Also, rather than having the green on the door extend and end on the top of the quarter panel, we thought we would extend it over the deckid and have it meet the otherside.

I like D based on originality. Is this going to be a vinyl application or real paint?

Also, how the hell did you do these simulations? They look amazing. Does the GTR game let you do this?

Very well done....

007DT · 08-30-2009, 12:15 PM

C is the best... But agree about too much flat black. Also flat black will really show marks etc. that you'll pick-up from the track.

Most likely a combination of the two. The final design will determine how much of each will be utilized. Some areas will need to be painted becuase of the physical contours of the area beging modified, i.e. mirrors, wing (not the foil, but the uprights), the area around the center rear brake light, will not allow for proper vinyl application.

GTR-2 is a race simulator-a really good program, but it does not allow you to modify the graphics on the cars found in the game. That was done by hacking into the program, extracting the car files then editting the "skin" using photoshop. You then reconvert the files back into the GTR-2 file format and it appears in the program's car viewer. The renderings you see in this post are screen shots of the program's car viewer.

I do not know how to do this, it was done by a freind.

I voted for A, but C is kind of growing on me. the last short vertical line doesnt look right, as it isnt parallel to the others. for sure, not B or D, (boring and strange respectively

)

Bull · 08-30-2009, 03:47 PM

If I must choose from those four designs, I would go with A.

Either A or C would work for me with some modifications. Forget B & D.

kristap · 08-31-2009, 08:51 PM

I like C then D. Think that C could be better but needs some of the green up front & more of it in rear (wider stripe maybe at an angle)
