As far as the camaro, some choices will depend on the number and the type of shirt and the customer. Underbase gray with white highlight and a blue should work. If the customer is picky, you could add another gray to make it a little nicer.

The gray underbase has to be made with opaque inks rather than the mixing system (and if going on 50/50 or similar) it has to be low bleed. I realized that at the last min.

I agree.  Of course you could improve it very simply.....MOPAR MOPAR MOPAR Challenger.  8) 8) 8)

thanks guys, I appreciate it -you know how it is, I am my biggest critic, never happy, only satisfied. It's printing 100% cotton first run is 500 pieces. I'm still working on the text Zoo,  but my eyes started bugging out. I usually close it out for a day then open it a few days later and make some changes. . .I'll put the the finished product up each when we run them.  . .man, I could go for a molson. .

Chadwick:
Put a hard black outline on the 'Molson,etc'  and the 'Chevy,etc' text.
It's blending with the background too much, needs to be isolated a bit more, as they are the main text to read ( from a distance ).
If it's part of the car graphic, rebuild the logo in vector, and add the outline.
Not a crit, just friendly advice.

Medium grey, white, and a process blue color for simplicity ( 3 ) and spend a bit of extra time tweaking the seps would work great.
Or get 2 whites and add another, lighter grey ( 5 ), would look nice too.
Or I guess you could go insane with shades, but simpler is better on press methinks.

Looks good.
Cheers.

Homer:
yeah, dammit, good idea . .but, order is done and delivered. I have pics but my camera sucks so I have to take them again. I did with a light gray base, light blue and highlite white. I'm super happy with how they turned out, the art could have been better now that I look at it -but for the time frame I had - 3 days to turn the whole job from art to finished, 500 pieces- I am really happy. Probably one of the best sep jobs I ever did, I'm not an artist and I'm not a fantastic printer -so this type of accomplishment is HUGE for us. I have to get pics up, I'm actually proud of this one, I did it all myself start to finish. I was going to send it to Dan but it really wasn't that hard, it's the highlites that tend to scare me a bit. But I freakin nailed it. I have more jobs coming up that I'll post up and get yous' guys' input. Thanks again
