So I'm getting set to have my little scion painted and I'm trying to decide on what to do as far as paint is concerned. Here are 3 of my ideas
Changed up the ones I had posted to try and flow with the body a little better. Thanks for the advice.






As a side note I'm trying to get my hands on a FULL ducks-garden kit. If anyone has a line on one or someone that might let me know! And tell me what you think of the paint concepts.

 

not really digging any of those, try following the body lines and the lines of the kit you're getting. And you'll be the first with Ducks in the US, awesome. Bulletproof Automotive should be able to import it for you. I think I've heard good things about JDM Palace as well.

 

Also came up with this just sitting here.

 

Hmmm, now that I do kinda like... do the slots on your grill the same color as the white (like mine, with the kopper in the black) I find it ties everything together real well.

 

one word.....NO!

 

maybe if all the lines werent straight....throw some curve in there. i think a semi-dark metallic blue, some metallic silver, and some black would be cool...

 

1. no, the stripes don't accent any of the body lines
2. no, xa with a cape?
3. no, xa with a chin strap
4. no, xa with a head gear nose protector type thing...no
5. much better, xa with a mask...make the grille white too and like psyco said, it has a good connectivity.

 

Like so? Or should I try and flow the lines of the headlights into the grill more?

 

Kinda iffy on all of them.. The last isn't all that bad though.

 

not my cup a tea

 

Thanks for the feedback guys. If you don't care for any of the ones I've thought up feel free to post suggestions! I'm not hopelessly attached to any of these designs and am merely brainstorming. So feel free to put your own ideas out there!

 

instead of a paint job, what about vinyl decals. at least if you don't like it, they are a lot easier to remove.

 

The reason I was going to go with a new paint job is because I'm getting a kit and I figured why not redo the whole thing? And as much as I love Polar White, Indian Ink is a sexy color, so I want both.

 

NOT ALLOWED

REASON

 

Hahaha, seems like I wasn't the first to consider that idea. No worries bro, last think I want to do is copy someone else.

 

Don't take this seriously. But I saw it and just had to do it!


The smiling bandit!!

 

but hey, if you wanna do it thats fine... my xB is not long for my ownership... so i really wont give... just stay away from lazer blue metallic, GM color... LOL

that is awesome...

 

yeah, that paint job is starting to look pretty mean!

 

eyelids are deffinately a must!! And can be done in paint too, that's how mine are. And you may wish to stick with just two colors, too many and it gets more distacting to the eye instead of pleasing.

 

I find it funny that the one I post as a joke seems to be the one everyone likes the most! Only reason I threw the third color in there was to help make that bit stand out a little more. And Yeah I think with the paint style I'm looking at I'm gonna have to get eye lids. Either painted ones or attached...

So now I have a favor to ask. Anyone decent with graphics arts willing to do a cleaner version of the paint job for me? The last one that is.
