Any thoughts on this idea for a paint job

[SNR~EVO6]

I want to use:
fluorescent orange
fluorescent blue
Alclad II chrome
and some black on the bed

Using xxx-main tribal flames mask

since i"m backing the fluorescent's with white... think I should mask of something for white

I did a real quick photoshop of what I am thinking(just imagine the colors I listed above) What do you think? I think it will be bright and flashy! Any additions are welcome... i just want some other opinions!

[Mustang_child]

thats would look very nice indeed it would. thats a good color combination i think and also how much did ur tribal flames mask cost cuz i need one for an rc monster im doing for some town races and if i dun win ill just make it nice to the eyes. :D so if u could like scan it so i can see if its what i want then ill get meself one. well dun forget to show the final thing bye

This is what the mask looks like on a car:

I got mine at a LHS for about $4.50, but Tower Hobbies has it as well:

XXX Main Racing Tribal Flames Paint Mask (http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXEGB6&P=7)

[Mustang_child]

hey thanks ur a life saver but are u sure thats not normal flame cuz tribal fire has more hooks and barbs but anway thx for the information !

[SNR~EVO6]

it's not a true "tribal" pattern, at least not exactly what I think of when someone says tribal flames, but anyway...... that is what xxx-main calls that mask.

I wanted to try the xxx-main "pro flames", but that has really tiny outlines, and I thought I should try a easier, but still cool flame job.

[SNR~EVO6]

I've been reconsidering... I think I like this a bit better!

[Mustang_child]

That looks niver but u should use orange on the humps in the rear where the shocks go for more orance in the rear, but mind it does look very good indeed id love to see the completed project.

[SNR~EVO6]

It's Photoshop 7.0

It is a fairly expensive image manipulation/art program. You might be able to find it locally at a software place or on the net!

Well, my idiot friend actually spent the money on it, and i use his copy. Does that count?

[Mustang_child]

i dunno u dont own it he does so its like.. uhm.... oh whats the word..... like uhm piracy or something i dun know its liek using something thats not urs..:confused:

[Mustang_child]

and call me mike cuz thats my name.

[Scomp87]

Mike my good buddy. Let's see, I don't think Photoshop is what you want if you are lazy then. Photoshop takes a few tries to get good at, and it's expensive so the lazy kind would HAVE to download it. But then again you are against piracy, so I guess you'll have to work harder to save some money to buy Photoshop, and we know only idiots and really good freinds buy it. So I can only think of one other program that would help you... Microsoft Paint. But I'M against Microsoft completly so scratch that... Go download Photoshop off Kazaa, it is the most simple program to download Photoshop from, any person could use it. Even lazy ones. Mike, don't even think about sucking up my bandwith with AIM either. And you wouldn't want to be hooked up with me anyway, there's no idea what I could put on your computer with the unlimited reach that AIM gives me. Have fun looking for someone to give you Photoshop.

[Mustang_child]

wasnt lazy to use it i was jsut too lazy to go look for it and im not against piracy lol i was just saying that he wasnt using his own copy to do whatever with

[Scomp87]

Oh, my bad. Your incorrect use of puntuation has given me trouble. You see, I see your lazy comment like this:

"cuz well... im lazy and"

Now, I would be right to take this as a list of reasons why you can't download it because of the and you put there. If I were you I would have put:

cuz well... im lazy, i just dun feel liek searchin for it AND I'm worried about my truck.

Sorry about the piracy thing. I have a lot of trouble reading messages without any punctuation. Excluding the .... pause you put in four times.

Sorry Mike, my bad. And trust me, you do not want to grab things off others you don't know with AIM. It's too easy to grab your IP add. and too easy to send you junk.

[Mustang_child]

i am sorry aswell. i should have punchuated (sorry i cant spell that word too good) and actually done what u said and i would download photoshop off kazaa, but my comp and connection are very slow. 56k net/fax connection with a 95 gateway lol

[SpeedMunkey]

a couple good alternatives to Photoshop's bloated butt are Paintshop Pro and Xara. Paintshop Pro does about 90% of what Photoshop will do, but costs about 1/10th the price. Xara is a vector based graphics program, much like Adobe Illustrator. Again, about 90% of the capability, and 1/10th or so the price tag. I use both daily at work and love em :D

Paint Shop Pro (http://www.jasc.com)

Xara (http://www.xara.com)

Both have fully functional demo versions on their web pages.
