Car paint idea
Hey guys. I am looking for some input on some ideas I have for the paint job I'm going to be doing on my car. I have 5 designs and can't decide which one to do so I thought I'd put it to our lovely community.
Four of the designs are rising sun inspired. The fifth is a concept drawing that a very talented artist friend drew.
First up is this.
#1 Basic white with a rising sun on the hood. Very popular in the Datsun 510 community. I like it's simplicity and style, but it's a bit overdone.

#2 Basic white with the rising sun on the side of the car. Pardon the horrible drawing, I'm at work and don't have decent art programs to work with(even if I did it would look the same
). Anyway, it keeps the Ratsun style rising sun but throws it on the side for a bit of a unique turn on the original. My sister suggested maybe doing it only on one side of the car, as well. Keep in mind the sun beams would be a lot smaller, as there has to be 18 red and 18 white.

#3 Basic white with just a Japanese flag-styled sun on the side. No rays of light. Offset towards the rear of the car, just barely over the rear wheel well. Simple, but still has traits from the Ratsun rising sun.

#4 is another variation of #1. Rising sun on the roof instead of the hood. Car would be painted white though, not green.

Again this was drawn by a friend from the Datsun forums I visit. It's his Datsun 510 street fighter concept. The car would have rivets all over, along with the paint job, to mimic a WWII fighter plane. I obviously couldn't do the exhaust the way it is in the picture due to road laws, but I might be able to do similarly styled exhaust near the rear of the car.
