I know this probably isn't the forum for this, but I need as much input as possible, A.S.A.P as my car is in the body shop, being sanded down, being prepped for paint.

OK! My car's almost prepped for paint, and I REALLY need to decide on a paint scheme for it, so far I've come up with 3, and just thought of another today that I think may look better than the others. That is not my car in the pictures, but is the same scarlet red colour as it. I ordered a Mach 2 hood for it, smoked foglights and black headlights and my car has 03 GT Centennial Bullit wheels on it and it has black interior, those are the only differences between them. Also thinking of getting them to put pearl in the paint.

OK Here we go, as many opinions as possible would be great! or other suggestions would be great as well!

(It's black btw... It's hard to get all the glare properly when changing colours in Photoshop so I had to keep it a bit lighter than black)

Option #1:


Option #2:


Option #3:

I like #1. ,#2 the line is way too low and basically makes the car look kind of incomplete. #3 i dont care for red on top of black. it makes the car look way bottom heavy(black is visually the heaviest color, white being the lightest in weight) (well, from a art perspective). BUt go with what you like. I guess maybe Im partial to #1 cause thats the scheme I had been wanting, but different colors.
(here my photoshopped car:

not sure about this anymore though, I may just drop the blue(which will actually be almost black but with blue pearl)down to the molding, like the stock scheme)
