Two tone SSR help?

ARW · 04-02-2005, 09:14 PM

Just kicking around the idea of painting the roof of my SSR cream or silver.
My wife said no way!

I love old two tone cars and trucks.
Please help with any info or photos to show her how good a SSR would look.
UV 2004

mikepowell · 04-02-2005, 09:42 PM

Love to see the SSR in Ultra Violet and Silver

mr.merlin · 04-03-2005, 09:07 PM

heard the 2006 is two tone silver and black!!

Draw one up yourself.

I posted a sketch in the gallery under concepts & drawings a while back for everyone to use for testing/ desiging paint schemes. Just print it out and color it any way you want.

If you don't tell her where you got the sketch, she might be impressed with what you've created.

I have a picture of an Ultra Violet that is yellow on the bottom and looks great but I don't remember where I got it. I have it printed and could scan it for you if you wanted to see that combo.

Send away please.

subman576 · 04-05-2005, 08:36 AM

This is a poor scan, this scanner I have at work is crap but it will give you an idea. I can do a better one from home if you need it.

subman576 · 04-05-2005, 08:38 AM

It turned out better than I thought it would. I wanted to go with yellow before I saw the ultra violet and this is the best of both worlds.

Hope these aren't dupes...

kwhopper89 · 04-05-2005, 10:09 AM

A few more images found on the web...

kwhopper89 · 04-05-2005, 10:11 AM

From a google image search...

kwhopper89 · 04-05-2005, 10:16 AM

Check out the teeth on one below...

kwhopper89 · 04-05-2005, 10:22 AM

Nice!!!

kwhopper89 · 04-05-2005, 10:26 AM

But an SSR none the less...

Hey Keith,

As usual you are able to come up with some great photos again...

I sure do like them. Might like to share that link if you find it again...

PS The teeth grill is from an earlier model Corvette.

Marc,

http://www.google.com/imghp is the Google image search. 30+ pages for a search on "SSR" - I'm on google results page 30 (from the www.reyn.com) web site - with my SSR hawaiian shirt!

cruzned · 04-05-2005, 11:21 AM

That toothed grill reminds me of the 38 buicks, like the one on the front cover of the Steven King Novel I am currently reading. Wicked man!

Morgan · 04-05-2005, 01:02 PM

This was done last Oct.

cruzned · 04-08-2005, 07:08 PM

Any more shots of the finished job on that orange and purple one with the corvette grill at the finished stage? That is just soooo wild!!! he, he....

Found it. Looks like they are around $20 per grill tooth and then you need a bunch of other goodies to make the transformation into a real SSR Monster with TEETH!!! Get your dental floss ready!

ISLANDDREAMS · 04-23-2005, 11:29 AM

i recommend black and silver seen a couple like that and they are HOT

jammadave · 04-23-2005, 05:40 PM

I definitely plan on two-toning mine. Was going to buy a silver and paint the top half black or midnight blue, but I ended up buying a black one - probably will be silver on the bottom in this case, but I've seen other colors at the bottom of two-tone cars with black on top, so we'll see.

It looks AWESOME in 2 colors, which is why GM is hinting at doing it, I'm sure.

jammadave,
You took delivery of a black one. Is it the 05?

Nope, price difference was so great with the deal I got, I took an '04. Still dig it very much though, not *too* much in the way of compromise by taking the 04, IMHO.

jammadave · 04-26-2005, 04:43 PM

Can I re-up this thread and ask for mockups of two-tone jobs with black on top and a few colors on the bottom? Metallics like copper, silver-green, steel blue, that kind of thing? I have no photo software robust enough to do such a thing (and thus, not enough photo edit experience even if I had the tools).

Sure looks like him.
