HELP NEEDED - Patriotic Paint Themes - VCA Board Creativity...

[SEASNAKE]

Janni,

I think you ought to do something similar to the VCA car from St Louis. Instead of silver, grey and black, make it red, white and blue. I like the crisp, sharp lines better than fades and blends.

Just want to jump in here for only a moment. We are very proud to do this for Janni and the Viper community. Would love to have many, many ideas for her to pick from. We have told her we will attempt to paint anything she comes up with.

As mentioned, anyone good with "Photshop", etc, we'd love to see some of your ideas.

Janni: One e-mail I recieved today was for a very distinct/defined but shadowy flag waving on the hood with a well defined eagle in flight, wings fully extended, layered over the flag.

Which by the way brings me to another short point. This IS Janni's decision, not mine. So please post here your ideas, or to Janni personnaly.

We are very much looking forward to this! Let the selection begin.

janni,
i would go with this a copy of the "famous" photo of the firemen
raising the flag at ground zero.. (this photo has been all over)
on the hood
and just the rest of the car blue.

that photo would just say it all on the hood and seeing that the
hood raises nicely painting it shouldn't be too troublesome.

keep in mind a picture is worth a thousand words or in this case a busy paint job(3 colors, stars, etc)

just my 2 cents....

Hi folks. Remember a while back (slightly after the tragic events of Septmeber 11..) when Ed "Double Venom" Combs offered up a patriotic themed super special viper paint job? Well, I was quickest to the keyboard with a "Pick me, Pick me" note. Over this winter, HER ASP will be transformed into a Stars and Stripes paint masterpiece. But, I need your help.

I have been brainstorming for the past month or so, trying to come up with ideas. They have run the gamut - from very simple, to elaborate fades from the blue and white into a flag and back again - with and without airbrush work, etc... I am now totally confused. Originally, I was thinking about a boldly graphic rendition of Old GLory - in Red, SILVER and Blue - all with heavy metallic content. (I am not a big fan of white metallic, AKA Pearl...) - basically something that Captain America would drive. Or as a friend of mine said - Wonder Woman - bless him

But I am open for suggetions and you folks have done some of the most amazing things with Vipers and Photoshop or drawings or whatever, I am asking to pick your collective brains and look at ideas. I would love the VCA board to be involved in this entire process, maybe even voting on an overall design winner. I'll bet I can convince Ed to keep us posted as the job progresses. The VCA is a great club and it would be kinda cool to have a car that the VCA designed.

Ed says I am limited only by my imagination and his skill. Based on his other works of art, I am sure my imagination is the limiting factor, here....

Please post your ideas, pictures, thoughts, colors etc and help me give Ed a design that he can be proud to paint. I am open to any and all suggestions - just no copies of anyone else's car.

Thanks!

How about the coiled snake flag reading "don't tread on me"?

Janni, you might want to call Ron at SVSi and ask him about the different plans they talked about before they painted the Styker the way they did? I think he said that they had a few choices to select from????

Hi Janni,
Wow, that is going to be very cool!! How about a snake that works it's way around the entire car, done in red, silver (as you like, instead of white) and blue. Nothing too large, and it's head coming out of the duct on the hood, with Osama Bin Laden in it's mouth, fangs deeply embedded. If you don't like the last part, how about just the red, silver and blue snake, slithering around the car?
