Ok, so, maxwedge's paint thread got me to thinking what I want to do with my boat. I'm planning on keeping the basic look it already has, but want to thin out some of the white. I have to repaint the white anyway since it pretty trashed, but all the blue gel on my boat is savable. I have an idea already and wanted to see what you guys thought.
I'm starting with this

And I came up with this

I'm looking for something old school to stay in touch with the look of the boat.
If any photoshop guru's want to take a stab at it heres a template.

I have seen several people playing around with paint ideas on the computer.What kind of program are you using to do that.
That paint idea looks pretty good for a retro scheme.
I have a '73,18' Kona tiger,that i want to repaint and would like to play around on the computer instead of hand drawing it.

I did this one on Photoshop 7. I'm still learning how to use the program so I just know enough to be dangerous. I need to get a book or something, the "just pushing buttons to see what they do" method of learning Photoshop is taking forever. :idea:

Can't really go wrong with some scallops and a Boat biotch (I loaned you mine for the photo) :D

Don't know if you could download it off their site or not, but if you could you'd have to buy it. I got a copy from a friend that is the basic version. Would like to see about upgrading it.
