Got inspired for painting my Formula
Okay. Need some imagination to help me out here guys. I'm not much of an artist on the computer and couldn't get it much better than this. Therefore, think of it more as a paint scheme rather than how crappy I am with Microsoft Paint. What do you think? Basically two-tone black on silver (I know it looks grey) with yellow pinstriping seperating the two..... I would add the Sail panel birds back (silver bird on black, trimmed yellow) and the nose bird (black bird on silver, trimmed yellow) Sound cool? Or crazy...
I really dig Jekyl and Hyde's ride, which is what has inspired me to go this route.
If you like the idea, but not the color, make a suggestion. Sticking w/the black on top, but might change the bottom. Thanks for your opinions
