my horrible mspaint paintjob! photoshop help?

So I have really been thinking of how I want to paint my car and I've got no skills with photoshop. I also have a hard time explaining what I want to have someone else photoshop it for me.... so I struggled through mspaint to get the idea across.

After looking at my pics, can someone photoshop this to look more like an actual paintjob?

I got the idea for this from this picture:
http://classic-car.y2u.co.uk/Photo_c...Muscle_Car.jpg

And here is what I did with MSPaint.... horrible I know...





That last pic I stole from the rally yellow thread to get a pic with the angle I needed.

Opinions on the concept?

I like it....

I'm going to 20" wheels... probably the konig unknowns unless something else catches my attention by the time I'm ready to buy. I looked at hundreds of pics of cobalts with wheels and the konigs are the only one's I really liked. Then I found out that they are pretty heavilly used... so maybe I'll do something like having the non chrome parts of the wheels painted to match the body...

Thanks. Not exactly there yet but gives me a better idea. I would want the outside line of the stripe to run from the inside point of the headlight and curve to the black trim line at the mirror. Then the rear pillar would be black, and the stripe would create a yellow "funnel" from the rear pillar to the middle of the moonroof

yeah its pretty close, you should be about to use paint from there on. another thing you may want to do is put painters tape on your car (outlining) and then fill it in on the computer.
