Well i have a few options for paint schemes-

please vote if you can and also explain any other options or ideas you have.

option 1- white wheels, two tone blue and white paint. The top of the truck blue, and the bottom white. Flames running along the line where the colors change. this could be done with or without flames on the rockers. I"ll include a picture below.

option 2- reverse of that scheme still with white wheels

option 3- blue flames on white with the entire front end painted blue, still with white wheels

option 4- 20 or 22" chrome wheels, same scheme as option one with red on the top and black on the bottom.

option 5- same as 4 with dark blue or dark green instead of red.

option 6- blue truck with white tribal flames with either white or chrome rims- please specify.

i'll include pictures to help clarify in the next couple of posts

this is scheme number 1 roughly drawn thanks to section525 (it is the one that is primarily modified in the other options) the only thing it is missing is a flame design along the white to blue transition

I'm thinking you should do a blue front fading into white twards the rear, then do white flames on the front blending into the white
 






and this was the one i had originally planned- but with blue on the white

I'm not a huge fan of any of those ideas, but I'd go for #6 with white rims. With the white flames tasteful and blending with a few intermediate shades between white and blue, maybe with some shadows. Maybe the front of the truck white blending back to blue as the flames fade.
 






boomin- like that blue truck up there?

that last oen is too much, but i like the way it got a lot of white on it. i'd scale it down to be more tasteful
 






i need to find a picture of godfather customs red and black s10 on 22s i really like that paint job.

here is some of my painters work-

also just so you know the interior will be black with subtle green and gold flames

hold on let me see if i can come up with a quick chop before work....
 






Option 3 all the way, just like you had mentioned before, that would look totally badass, with sortof a translucent blue ghost flamming into white towards the rear....:drool:
 






Option 6 w/ chrome rims.
 






This is horrible but kinda explains it

This one is SWEET!!!

Option 3 sounds good ....
 






i voted #3. i think you should stick with the Saleen wheels, they simply work on your ride.
 






I like the blue/white color scheme but id still stick with number 4 and get dubledubs
 






Here are the only pictures of the Godfather Customs S10:D

i'm actually liking this one- but i'm gonna try to get the flames stretched out a little bigger so it gets more white on the ride andmakes the wheels look right
