It's (gasp) unique! People are gonna hate on you for it, but without a doubt it'll be something different. So I say...is it done yet?? Swat

P.S. I have NO photoshop skills to help you with! lol

I saw a guy on here that did his manta to match the camaro emblem on the hood. It had the three colors side by side like that. It was definatelly unique but just didn't flow like a single color would have. So with all the trouble it'd take to mask off and create the star and such in the texas flag, i'd say just stick with a single color for sure.

different and unique doesn't mean it's going to look good. But it's your car and your $$$. Post up whatever you do.

I certainly have the skills to do what you want in photoshop but need to see your drawing first. I wouldnt be able to do it till I get home from work though.

im down the road from you and can possibly assist with some ideas for you give me a call. 972)891-5377

can go wild or subtle, here is a subtle phoenix on a 72 from not too long ago.

white pearl over black with blue tips, i pinstriped around it also because it was REALLY "ghosty"

thinking if you want to work the texas flag theme into something subtle it a bit. my first thought would be kind of ghosting the texas flag in with a true fire using only blue, red and white to make a lay out of the flag in the flames.... jst an idea
