I am photoshop illiterate (and just plain illiterate looking at my subject line ), so I need a little help for my sanity.

So these are the best pictures of a Fitch Sprint I could find. Basically, I need to see a couple different color combos. Basically, I need the green to be red and the black can remain the same. The other one I need is the green to be black and the black to be red. I don't know if it's possible, but quality pictures of these cars seem to be hard to come by.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Keith. I like both of them, which is a problem.

I would have to see the rear end to know which one I liked better I think.

Right now the car is black with red accents. So I either it'll be black on red with a black rear tail panel or red on black with a red tail panel (kind of like it is currently)

Damn, I'm having a hard time deciding which one I like better.

The black over red looks more Corvair to me. The red over black looks more '66 Chevelle to me, if that makes sense.

See here's my dilemma: I like the black over red. However, that's too similar to Fitch colors and my car is not a Fitch car, I just have a Solar Vent-Top (who bought the molds from Fitch after he stopped doing Corvair stuff). I don't want Corvair people to think I made a Fitch clone either.

I also like the red over black. It's opposite the Fitch colors.

What I will probably do is make the top of the car one solid color unlike the Fitch that left the decklid the original body color.

I actually prefer the green. But, that's just my opinion. I like different.

That's a factory color. Grecian Green to be exact. That's actually what the original color of my car was. I however want to take my dad's original concept and make it my own. I've never not known this car black and res and I can't see it any other way.

Since you are a true car guy and not just looking for attention , the solid red over the top of the car would look good. I'd do the taillight panel in red to match the top, maybe with some black accent pinstriping to tie them together.

The black strip running along the window sills and back to the rear panel makes a big difference - regardless of whether your car ends up red/black or black/red, I think you should emulate it. Makes the car look more integrated than the shot of your car now.

Personally, I like the black on top.

I like the black over red. It might be because that looks a lot like Mark Natali's autoX car though. (can't find any pics that will allow hotlinking)
