Serious paint opinion needed...

[Crazzy_Al]

What do you guys think about a paint job like this? Like a translucent, or "ghost" silver flame job? Too trendy? Not a fan? Leave it the way it is? Opinions? And don't ask me to paint it pink...I couldn't find a shade that I really liked. :lol:

I like it . I want to do a pearl white ghost flame on my car after I get it painted yellow .

I'm usually not a big fan of flames, but that pic makes them look really good. It goes with the car as a whole and isn't too in your face.

Chartreuse or Magenta suits your eyes better, no pink :D

I know of a couple of guys that do that. One has been doing it for over 20 years...oldtimer....has done many of the AutoRama cars. I can get you his name.

I was considering a ghost flame for awhile....if your current paint job needs no work, a ghost flame paint job will run $1500 - $2,000 easily.

im not a real big fan of ghost flames on black cars...i dont know if its because it stands out to much or what but i dont think it looks very good

I'm not a big fan of flames on black or newer cars. IMO, a black car like that looks classy and mean...so why ruin it? Flames on a newer style car like that would just make it a trendy, white trash, attention getter.

But hey, who cares what people think anyways though...do what you like. :cool:

I'm with Lisa... yes it looks OK now, but in 5 years it'll just look outdated. I'd leave it alone. The car looks good and clean, why mess it up?

I wouldn't go so far as to label it white trash, unless it was something rediculous like chromalusion'd Louis Vuitton flames :rofl:

Anyone else notice Al's posts are labeled "serious"? Since when is Al serious? :lol:

I like it a lot. But your car looks so good the way it is. It might look better on a different color car!

[1Quick88]

on a dark blue (like saleenjames's car) or red or something along those lines it would look really bad ass..also i wouldnt have them going down the whole side of the car either..i think this looks really good..not to flashy but noticable..

Hmmm....it's a purse on wheels. :lol:

But seriously though....maybe that was going to far, but that's what it reminds me of really. :dunno:

on a dark blue (like saleenjames's car)

See now I think that really looks sharp though. :cool: So, I guess it depends.

Ok..I'll shut up now. :D

[saleenjames]

yeah thats right......i love the flames on my car.....they suit it well......cost me an arm and both legs.....but they were done right.....

they are on the hood, roof, and trunk lid.....

[tirebitten]

i agree. james' flames look bad ass but he has the right paint job on the right car :cool:
