PAINT!!!!! I need ideas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok guys its down the wire on picking a color/"add ons" for my blazer
here is what i have to work with, no two tones. and here is the kicker I have a friend who does custom (I mean this is what he gets paid to do as a regular job) graphics flames whatever i want (that he owes me). the plan was to go white with differant shades of candy blue traditional style flames with lime green pinstrips, but now that it is time to buy the paint i am not sure i want white or even flames for that matter.......any ideas????????????

Re: PAINT!!!!! I need ideas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well...Since you asked, I for one am not crazy about the idea of white with blue flames. I do, however, think that your blazer has tons of potential and that the right paint job is really gonna set it apart.

I have had an idea in my head of a some colors that I think will look pretty *****in, but I don't plan to ever use them on either of my Blazers. How do you feel about blue (I think pontiac blue is the best way to describe what I am thinking of) and med/dark grey? But what I have in mind isn't nearly as wild as blue flames outlined in green.

If you are interested, I will try and do a photoshop when I get time in the next few days.

I'm gonna paint my Suburban a metallic purple with bright yellow tribal flames that fade into orange at the tips all the way down the sides.
