Remember, this is only a 2 dimensional mock-up.. It will look different with all the flake and pearl on it! :thumbright:

Why not do poison ivy leaves instead of fish scales? Similar look maybe

Cos I have to do fish scales..... it was really popular in the 70s, with cobwebbing, lace and never ending lines.

The colours & the graphics look great Jeff I'm not keen on the bird - she looks great - but not on the car!

Maybe put her on the roof, less noticeable?

How do you mock this stuff up on the pc Jeff? I'm not very computer...
Those narrow flames have got me thinking, I'd like to see what they'd look like ghosted over the black sidepanels on mine.

Anyone know a safe site to get a free download of Photoshop? I just downloaded one and it looked dodgy. I got spooked and binned it before I opened it :?

Dont do it!

You can download a 30 day trial.

Free program downloads are riddled with all sorts.


I make a living out of Photoshop, and pay Adobe for the use.
