I am painting a Friendship 3 and would like to find photos of various paint schemes people have used on this shape car. I have dial up and it takes forever to load pages of photos so my searching has not yeilded much. Anyone know where there are some I can take a look at some photos??
Appreciated!

Just curious. Do you happen to have any graphics software that would allow you to "paint" your own rig to see how you like it with your bike?
I recently did some ceramic tile work in my kitchen and sure found it useful to do it on the computer and get wife's OK before doing the entire wall.

BTW, if you want to send me a couple of pics of your rig and what colors you'd like to try, e-mail them to me and I'll see what I can do. I'd keep the files small 'cause I and appreciate the lack of dial-up speed.

Hey RonC, where can I find a program that does that? It would be very useful for a couple of things I have now including a sidecar.

ignatious, I'm a Mac guy and have full "Photoshop" for business reasons, but that's proably overkill for your needs. Also, Apple provides a program called "iPhoto" with its operating system. My guess is that you work with Windows, so how about some of you Windows folks giving ignatious a few leads?

A friend is a Graphic Arts professor at the local University. He says most of the graphics shops up here still use PhotoShop, but do so on a Windows PC. He did warn that it is quite expensive.

Mike, sadly that's true about Photoshop - it's pricey. But I'm sure there are some inexpensive graphics programs out there. I use to have a program called "Cricket Draw" that was neat and inexpensive. Surely there are some like that for Windows. The software that comes with digital cameras even may have enough umpth to do what's wanted here.

I'm sure there are. Maybe Claude will pipe in. I've seen some of his "artistic license". Remember the sidecar tractors?

The Calif. Site ( http://www.californiasidecar.com/sidecars_friendship_iii.htm) gives you a couple of ideas. Have you done a Google search?
