Check out my new air breather
With my truck in getting rockers and cab corners replaced, I got bored on Saturday so decided to give my batwing air breather a coat of paint. The color is a 1966-67 GM color Marina Blue Poly with three coats of clear. I plan to paint the truck the same color. The flags are for the deck lid on a 1960 Impala.
Was planning to add some pinstriping, but now I'm not so sure. Your thoughts?

Re: Check out my new air breather
Sometimes less is more and I think it looks awesome without the stripes.

Re: Check out my new air breather
I wouldn't pin stripe it. If you're skilled enough maybe those three vertical raised lines, but I wouldn't make it any busier, it looks nice as it is.

Re: Check out my new air breather
Love the color. Always liked those style of intakes.
Like others, I'd forgo the stripe. Flags were a nice touch.

Re: Check out my new air breather
Makes me wonder if that's the color my truck is painted. Looks very close.

Re: Check out my new air breather
I'd lose the cheesy emblem and add some subtle white stripping. Very cool style.
Edit: if the engine is pretty stock and clean looking I'd be tempted to do the breather semi gloss black with maybe some striping (orange, blue, white?) |

Re: Check out my new air breather
great as is, good job, don't over think it. To me the emblem is a nice touch... and just enough.

Re: Check out my new air breather
I love these breathers, I like the cross flags addition. I have one myself painted to match the truck. Will be super happy when I get mine done.
