Nice set of renditions! I'm liking the two-tone themes. My faves would probably be pic #1 & #4.

by 77mali Wed Mar 18, 2015 8:41 pm

I like all of them. To be honest I like the last one best, looks very simple & clean as well as a nice color (looks a bit like the factory Light Buckskin).

I've toyed around w/ similar two tones also but have not come up with something I like that deals with the transition from the door and where is meets the rear quarter & roof. Your transition looks good but I wonder what it would look like if you carried the line over just a bit more & took that straight line out by tapering into the roof line, maybe like this? (Sorry I only have "Paint.net" LOL)

yeah its that damn high up sharp ridge on the rear quarter, most other cars had soft body curves. but I saw a two tone grey and silver with that sharp edge and it doesn't look bad. what kind of ideas did you have maybe I can help you out, as you can see im fairly proficient with photoshop.

Thanks. Might just take you up on that once my car is together enough.

I'm kinda likin' the turquoise combo -- I haven't seen that color look good on a car since the 50's models. But here it's very eye-catching, and you don't see it much in the wild.

I agree originally I was very partial to the orange and white cause again its uncommon, weither it would be the orang and white two tone or the all orange with the stock white stripes and loovers. but once I did the turquoise and black, I was like.... for something so dark that stands out. and as you said, its not something you see. but you have to get the shade of it just right. don't want it too blueish or greenish.

For me personally I like this one.

Ever think of using the cream top color (add a super small size rainbow metal-flake to the cream clear coat) and candy apple red for the bottom color. That would really pop in the sun light, Just a thought.

by wunderlich_33 Thu Mar 19, 2015 10:00 am

Interesting, ill have to see how that looks in photoshop. its hard to get a true sense of the colour digiatally because sunlight and metal flake, and different finishes can make the difference

by 77mali Thu Mar 19, 2015 10:12 am

Kind of crude here but this is what I meant. You can also make out the line that is similar to what your renderings have. This is a better angle.

I bought the PPG Vibrance Custom Paint Color Charts/Chips so I could see what color I really wanted and could look at them in the sun, over cast and dark just to make sure I liked what I wanted.

Not sure if you are painting it your self or having someone else shoot it. But may be worth the money to see them upfront.

Here is My candy red color and a cream with rainbow flake. Monitors and photos just don't do well so keep that in mind.

yeah I see what you mean. but it still bugs me it doesn't follow the bodyline at the back of the door, but that's just me. its a tricky body line to follow, that's probably why you don't see many two tone lagunas and Malibu's

I like those colours too. I used those to design something for an 80's olds at one point the metal flake is nice, but what really worked for the olds was a silver top and maroon bottom with a separating stripe.

SORRY BUT NO OTHER ONE THAN THIS WILL BE ACCEPTED NOR ALLOWED LOL

by wunderlich_33 Thu Mar 19, 2015 11:24 pm

Lmao it is a very nice shade of green. im sure everyone can see why i have such difficulties picking a colour or a theme.

i have a very large computer file of pictures, and possible mods, and special touches and paints....ect.

by Limey SE Thu Mar 19, 2015 11:32 pm

I know I would go with the VFN hood NOT The one you have on there ..... The VFN one will goal the way to the edge of header panel instead of stoping a few inchs shorter

That 2-tone is my favorite, too!

But, all of 'em are great renderings!

See for scoops I like low profile , or unique, or the old duster scoops. my parents had those on their laguna and it looked good.

yeah low profile tires and oversized rims have no business on a muscle car, and this so called "donking" stuff is retarded

I'm pulling for the red and white. It's classy and timeless....

i like the red and white but only have one minor issue withit. im canadian...... its a little too patriotic for me. lol. but it combines the original colour and the tribute to the laguna i was raised in.

What do you mean too patriotic, eh? Laguna Renderings Canadi10

I bet your Laguna was built in Oshawa like my car was.

by 77mali Sun Mar 22, 2015 9:59 pm

If you REEEEEALY wanna be Canadian- go for this scheme. This is the 76 Olympic Edition Chevelle from GM of Canada. Might also be an interesting way to two tone using those lines.
