I personally wouldn't mar that paint job with that much airbrush work when it would look pretty much the exact same with vinyl. This way you can change them up easily without repainting the whole car.

This is the car I was referring to:

If you really need graphics, I've always thought a design similar to this would be cool....

Not feeling the tribal stuff though.

the airbrushed graphics will only be visible when looking at the car from a 90 degree angle... otherwise it will look like the other orange...the paint and paint work were sponsored by dupont...so I kind of have to let them put what they want on there...

well, this will be the last time I post a picture in this thread...

before anyone jumps to conclusions...yes it is airbrushed, no the car is not going to be silver...and when I post the final pics, you'll be hard pressed to spot the graphics as they will be "underneath" the top coat...


hope you guys appreciate the time and effort put into this!
