Painting / Color Scheme Concepts (15 designs) Which is best?

Post by Saved »

I was bored today, so in order to prepare for painting I decided I would make a few mock-up color schemes. I borrowed someone's Elite pic from the picture thread. I don't remember who's it was, sorry :P

Here's the original:

Here are the concepts:

Added these 3.

I would have made more, but I'm already partial toward #2, the green / black / sandy brown. Ok, it's really a toss up between #2 and the Barbie one, but... sigh... decisions.

I really the stock original colors.

Barbie looks pretty dope. Something you'd see at Toyko Auto Show or SEMA.

I added 3 more. Someone wanted brown. Tried making a Mountain Dew scheme. Didn't come out right.

If anyone wants to see specific colors, just let me know, as it only takes 2-5min to do one. Might help someone else in deciding which paint scheme to go with on an Elite.

All I'm doing is changing the color of the original. The panels have an original gloss finish and have a good amount of reflection due to the lighting. The original is at the top.

Doubt I can do a Chrome scheme, but I can surely get a silver'ish one if I try.
