Talking Painting the vette this spring, need opinions on some details

Like the title says, my neighbor and I will be painting the vette. Its going to be debadged and the z06 emblem will be integrated into the paint. Its going to have a black stripe up the center and instead of the corvette emblem on the front fascia I thought about having this as the original color



and this one under the hood in the original color since the underside of the hood is all black



btw by original color i dont mean red..... its a secret that and im not completely decided

The graphics are interesting, but not my cup of tea. If you do go this route, post up some pics of the end result.

They gonna be saying that, alright. The designs look good by themselves, but i don't know about on the car. Not for me, but if you like it. Go for it.

I agree no horns - awesome skulls though. you could do them in a slightly lighter color than the paint to make ghost images out of them. Easy with Candy colors.

Yes, if you put either of those drawings anywhere on the vette i would say WTF was he thinking...

Just being honest. Don't make it tacky.
