Need Paint Scheme Ideas

As alot of you know, I recently got in, well, lets just say... a fender bender

Since the car is going into the shop for some body work and needs paint anyway I want to throw some fresh custom paint and/or graphics. I am looking for something smooth that compliments the lines of the car (no checkered flag graphics!). I figure the more ideas the better. Whatever you can come up with would be appreciated, as would pix to help w/ the thought. For those that don't know me or my car, my baby is currently Sunburst Yellow. I would like to go w/ the Inferno Orange Corvette color all around, but cost is still a factor!

Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!
Nick

hey nick,

why not go with some pearl ghost flames, keeps the car still fresh and it won't stand out. I know gold pearl lightens up the yellow but it does not give off a gold hue, you could also go with some silver with white pearl and lay that down to help. It doesn't have to be flames but a cool ghost design would look good.

Another option i thought about is that with the lines that are on this car and especially with the yellow, it would be cool to do a light dusting of pearl over the whole car. It would pop on the fender wells, around the rear quarter panel and a coulpe of other places. It would not cost much to add and when done it will still have that factory look with just a little something extra that people will be able to just tell it is clean but not be able to figure out why it looks so good.

I'd look at doing ghost smoke.
