"Virtual Paint Job" web site ???

Does anyone know of a web site where I can pick out a '67 Cutlass coupe and customize a paint job? I have several ideas which I'd like to try, after which I can print out the results and bring to a paint shop. Thanks! Jim

Photoshop?
I've seen the sites where you download your car pic to try decal type graphics and wheels or tires, never paint colors on older car images? I've been on car company websites that you can try all kinds of paint and trim/wheel/tire combos for new cars.
I have Photoshop but I don't use it much and it takes me forever to remember how every time.
My car looks pretty straight, hope it does after paint.

Thanks for the info. I just got my scanner working and I'll be able to scan a photo of my car and run it into a Photoshop or similar program. I'll let you guys know how I make out. I'll also run a pic of the car. Take care! Jim

I gave mine a nice low-rider look. I would die before ever doing this in real life.
