Cool Design for my CRX

branman_crx_guy · #1 07-13-2002, 12:00 AM

Okay, I decided to say f*ck the decal for my CRX and I'm gonna get a design painted instead. Here's the problem: I have no imagination or artistic abitlity. So I was wondering if anyone had any ideas what would look good on my car (I dont want to copy the design, just have something to start with and give it my own personal touch

). Keep in mind I'll have a Metallic Black CRX with a Silver design, and also I dont want flames or dragons or anything tacky like that, just something that looks sharp. Also, it's gonna be for the sides, not the front or rear. Thanx all, have at it :frog:

Well, here's a design I was thinking about putting on my hatch:

Here's the full pattern:

Now, where the checker pattern crosses the windows, I was going to cut the tint so it matched the pattern... Anyways, try something like that, a design that crosses the windows and cut the tint to match. I think that'd be hella cool.

Your pretty handy with the hatch drawings aren't you?

LOL, it's my favorite thing to draw!

Is that freehand or is it off a CAD program or something?

hehehe, it says "drawn using MS Word"...

Dude you need to get your hands on Photoshop so you can do some real damage.

Uh, yep... Got that, I've posted alot of photoshop stuff in the automotive art/Graphic Manipulation forum here on AF... Check it out...

go to an airbrush artist...they can do things from cartoon looking all the way to a copy of picture. they also know how to do things like flames, paint curling back, rivets in metal plates...

when i lived down in cali there was "a guy" all he did was cars. if you could imagine it, he would put it on your car (on/under hood, dash, door jams, or the whole car). he had really reasonable rates which made him very busy

ask around. i'm sure you can find the go-to guy

(on this thread, ones at the top, the others on the bottom)

Any ideas for how I can make them so they'll look good on my car, just lemme know.

well if you order from them, they will cut them to size for ur crx, they arent just universal.

personnaly i like something that starts before the front wheels and ends behind the rears.
