need some SICK ideas...

[Frenchy]

I'd do the opposite of Allen's Cadillac. Gloss black, and do a semi-matte on all the trim and chrome.

Personally I'd keep the blue, just tone it down by changing the chrome to a dark chrome or get rid of all the chrome all together and paint it all black. Paint the headlight housings and put a mild tint on the lenses and fogs. Go with a little darker tint on the tails. Then I'd get a gunmetal looking powder coat for the Esky wheels. As the last thing, I'd see about getting rid of the mesh in the grills or just lose the mesh on the bottom grill. And DO get that second hood it looks pretty effing nice.

Just my opinion.

Dark dark green, small dark copper/orange pistripe, then black, black rims and the 2nd hood.

A saddle leather interior would look tits with that setup. Maybe with DARK woodgrain accents?

I think the major part of your ideas thats going to make it look sinister and more mean is the aspects a lot of the v's you pictured have. Those are more monochromatic cars with less chrome. If you went with a darker color, what about a midnight blue instead of a black? Kind of between what you have and a black to set it off from just your truck from GM that came in black? That way the effort is going towards something thats more one off?

The wheels, i think a major thing with wheels on cars is the offset. I guess its cause im a stance riceboy and like more flush fitting wheels which isnt for everyone. Hell, i think even with the truck now, you could do something different with the grill where it removes all of the grid feel of it and opens it up more like a cts-v grill, monochromatic the chrome stuff out by making every piece of trim the color of the truck, getting some wheels or even keeping the ones you have and powder coating them gunmetal or something like black, and putting on some 1 inch spacers or so to push them out.

Perhaps take the headlight apart and make the insides black housing or smoked housings?


Im going full mono on my gto. Gloss black car, satin black roof, satin black hood, satin black trunk, and half of the side skirts will be satin black where the bodylines come through. The wheels are black anodized centers with gloss black lips. All of the chrome is gone. If its a chome part, its either wrapped in satin black vinyl or its powdercoated black wrinkle finish. The end goal was to keep it all either gloss black, satin black, or black wrinkle finish. No color aside from the tail lights. Im not really into the whole gts tail light cover looking solid black tail lights. If its LIGHTLY smoked it looks good, but you have to still be able to clearly see the red and clear on the lights for my taste.

Either way, keep in mind the chrome stuff you paint, will chip really easily. I have had great success going to a plastics company, getting a vinyl guide and getting rolls of vinyl that match close to the car color. Use the vinyl to wrap the chrome. That way when its on the front of the truck and a stone hits it, it wont chip as easily. Then again, with the new water base stuff, you can paint a damn beach ball and deflate it and it wont chip off easily. Its pretty soft stuff and may not chip like my old grill did.

i understand these are not trucks, but the styling cues are still the same principals of my suggestions.




nasty.. monochromatic, and my flush riceboy taste fitting wheels..

haha


heres the gto.










i did a whole two color deal before and didnt really like it.. with the wheels at least. some did.

thanks for the ideas they all sound pretty badass...i know u can never go wrong with black or dark grey..it will be one of those colors for sure with black wheels.
blacklist your car is sick

this hood..




this grille...





these headlights. or LIGHTLY smoked tint the ones you have.
like this or maybe a LITTLE bit darker



and paint it black like you said or gun metal. If you do gun metal, do satin black accents Like satin black grille, extend the grille to the hood cowl and back to the windshield with satin black. Leave the drop down areas for the hood heat extraction ducts in the hood above either gloss black or gun metal the color of the rest of the truck.




this truck has my heart..



just black the wheels out you have and run 25 mm spacers.


personally id black them out by having them powder coated black wrinkle finish.

Heres my old car with black wrinkle finish wheels..







Satin black is the color of choice for me. I have had like 652342134 satin black cars so i am sided to it. lol..

[CHEVROLADE]

damm those all look good...im gonna think up sumthin since i have the platinum edition front.....
