So i'm getting my front lip painted...

Well its been dropped off and paid for, for about a week now haha

But I still haven't told them EXACTLY what I want yet, all they have is the base coat of black.

Now i didn't want to ruin the suprise for you guys, but I need help lol

I'm doing a puzzle theme on the lip.

But I can't decide weather I should do the whole lip in a puzzle pattern or if I should do the lip black with just random puzzle pieces all over it.

What do you guys think?

I'm doing a black/bronze color scheme

Bumpp, need help with this badly haha

i think this trend of the random pattern lips/bumper covers/headliners/interior trim is absolutely stupid.. but thats just my opinion.

having said that.. its not my car so go all out.. puzzle the whole thing! just make sure to post pictures

It's an interesting idea but I'm not sure how I feel about it. Bronze and flat black would look pretty good, I think. Definitely wanna see some pictures when it's done.

Is it going to be a random pattern or will the puzzle pieces make up a logo or theme?

i have a buzz on and its 3:00 in the morning so i stillc annot picture this conecpt in my head. a cobalt, with puzzle pieces covering the front lip. Like the red SS/SC with stickers on it? but you want puzzle pieces? Its interesting, now color scheme it depends on how much contrast you want it on the white, if you want it to sort of blend in, or if you want it to stand out from a mile away ya know. bronze, gold, copper would look nice. Black and white would look sweet too. but i dont know how much i like the whole idea of it either, but **** it. lets find out

I figured as much, but will the pieces make a pic on the bumper? That would look clean rather than the random or solid puzzle pattern?

Well on the drivers side of the lip it will make a picture with the words "Another Hero Lost..." Which I will explain the reasoning behind when I post the finished pictures.

I'm using a Black and Bronze color scheme by the way.

Gay as hell!

Best bet would be for a vinyl outline of puzzle pieces as a stencil, base inner, some airbrush accenting, and done.

BTW the "just stuck on" stickers are all heat gun formed, relief cut where necessary, and the whole lip is cleared.
