Testing paint schemes by making a "Coloring Book"

I can't decide what to paint my '67 F100 LB, so I took a digital picture and printed out a few pages and stole some crayons from my 2 year old. What do you think?

Excellent idea. Wish I could say I thought of it myself.

Photoshop works well also. But the expense of the software and the time to edit a pic can be a bear.
I'd suggest stoppping at an art supply store and getting some colored markers to achieve a more realistic look. The crayons just seem too....kiddie like! Just kidding.

My wife thinks it's pretty silly looking too. My budget has changed a little since I bought a new carb and am looking at a possible engine rebuild so now I'm thinking just a good Earl Schieb or Maaco job with possible vinyl graphics. I don't think I can afford flames or stripes.
