Default Lightning Streakes

Well, my girl just called me at work, and told me she picked up all the paint for her car. This weekend I'm airbrushing tribal lightning streaks down the sides of her car. I'm only gonna take them down to about half way on the door. That way I can save on clear coat. I'll only have to tape off half the car instead of the entire thing. This will be interesting because I have painted tribal flames, tribal scallops, and basic tribal designs on vehicles before...but never tribal lightning streaks. <img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle> I figure as long as I draw them out first to get the basic idea, I should have no problems with it. She wants nitrous next, but I'm trying to get her to steer away from it. She has a heavier foot than me, and she's CONSTANTLY revving up on and racing peeps. I think nitrous will be overboard for her. Anyway, she's buying a digi-cam in the next couple of weeks, so I will be posting pics of her car, and my car side by side soon. <img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle>

For shame....you don't know what Tribal Paint Designs are.... *hehehehe* J/K. I'll try and explain the ebst way possible.

<b>Here are Tribal Flames:</b>

<img src="http://www.magneticflames.com/p.images/whiteJaugar250.jpg" border=0>

They don't really look like normal flames due to the rough edges, and "Tribal-Like" patterns.

<b>Here are some "Scallop" paint jobs:</b>

<img src="http://www.customflamepainting.com/photos/cycle_5.jpg" border=0>
<img src="http://www.customflamepainting.com/photos/go_kart1_2.jpg" border=0>

You can see their just basic "Streaks" painted from the front of the vehicle. If you paint the scallops with a curve to it, they become "Twisted Scallops." <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>

<b>Basic Tribal Designs:</b>
<img src="http://www.customflamepainting.com/photos/firebird_1.jpg" border=0>

It's basically just like the name says. Doing squares, rectangles, lines, etc, in a tribal like design.

Tribal lightning streaks are just like the tribal flames in a way. You make the streaks real jagged and wild like how you see with the tribal flames.

Ford Escort ZX2. Bright yellow paint, body kit, touring wing, drop springs, 17" ADR rims, headers, exhaust, CAI, ignition, cam gears, camshaft, short shifter, clutch, competition stereo system, complete yellow interior with yellow and white leather seats, and a custom license plate that says "GRL RACR" <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> It's a sweet ride without a doubt. She beats ALOT of people with it. It's just funnier than all hell when a guy revvs on her, and she kicks his ass. Thank God she hasn't been able to beat me. <img src=icon_smile_blush.gif border=0 align=middle> I don't know if I would be able to handle that. *ha ha* J/K <img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle>

No, she isn't able to beat me, and that's one reason why she wants Nitrous. I'm able to beat her with and without it. So she want's something that will give her a little something when she races me and other racers. I have ALOT of friends of that are girl racers. Actually, now that I think about it, I have more friends that are girls that are into racing, than guys. Hmm...I think it's time for a "RACER X" House Party! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Anyway, you think Geo Metro's are cool that are all pimped out (being sarcastic)..well how about a way righteous pimped out Mac Daddy Dodge OMNI!!!!
<img src="http://www.bumpstop.com/lowrider/omni.jpg" border=0>

Coming to a Walmart near you......Dodge Omni RACER Conversion! *HA HA HA HA*

But if your heart truly is set on a Metro, then get ready for the ultimate Metro...
