Hey all.
I've just painted my previously bare metal panels. I have some ideas for art work on my shorty body. But Slingshot's have two differnet areas to view - the top of the cowl and the sides. I don't won't too much but I don't want to do one as the main and leave to other too bare. I'm a bit of a less is more guy but I want it to pop. Show me how you've balanced you paint and art work.
Cheers

Simple and traditional, laying stripes down the middle of the cowel and keeping them parallel, drives the side stripes down towards the bottom of the body. By the way, this is a vinyl wrap and the whole thing set me back $400

Did mine with stripes too !

he stripe look are authentic and cool looking. 8)

I like it when the stripes taper and converge to match the tapering body lines, rather than being parallel lines.
HINT: Hang a carpenter's laser level from your garage ceiling when laying out lines like that. Similar to how I did the checkerboard pattern on the inside of my '46 tow car.

Very loosely based on the old Walther J/F car...

Killer diggers!

Well the paint looked like a bushfire in the can, said to lay it over a black acrylic base - no probs lay the black down, lay the red over the top and it turned into a purple sorta brown blend! Yikes!
Had a look in a mates stash and laid this blue over the messed up red. Came out pretty nice. Had a local lad do some brushwork and it's everything I wanted.
