I love that guy's paint job

.. How much would something like that cost? And where can you get it done?

Mustangbelle306 · 04-08-2002, 10:55 AM

That is awful. The interior makes me think of traffic lights, lemons, and bananas

Hard to say, his car may have originally been chrome yellow, so he may just have had flames done.

lx mike · 04-08-2002, 11:00 AM

it's a show car, all his money is in the sound system and body kit.

XDude · 04-08-2002, 12:20 PM

I know, I hate the inside, but I want to know what it costs to have flames painted on?

You can have the red painted right on top of the yellow? I thought the whole thing had to be sanded and primed then re-done all at the same time?

tireburner163 · 04-08-2002, 12:27 PM

You can just paint over the original paint after a little preping. I can tell you this, it wasn't cheap.

BTW, the yellow/red thing doesn't really go. and don't like the interior.

But I really like the system

XDude · 04-08-2002, 02:35 PM

I love the red and yellow flames, but what do you think it would look like with red and darker red flames? Or visa versa?

Paintjobs like that can range from the hundereds to the thousands depending on where you go and what you want painted, what types of paints you would like and all the piant stages involved. Some paint jobs take a few hours some a few months. Any custom paint shop should be able to do it but I would definately go with a guy or girl that has had alot of experience doing custom paint work. I have a cousin that does custom paint work and his clients can get up past 5 grand on a paint job. I can get the Mystic cobra fairly cheap from him but still it will cost me about 3 or 4 grand.

joe4speed · 04-09-2002, 12:09 AM

yes that is nice!
I'll bet it was big $$$ too!!!

that sound system was prob more than the paint!! LOL

XDude · 04-09-2002, 01:23 AM

That sound system was probly more than the damn car :P.

1969Mach1 · 04-09-2002, 05:44 AM

I must say it is a pretty cool paint job, but like everyone mentioned, the cost depends on alot of things.

Topless In Texas · 04-09-2002, 07:02 AM

I for one am all for a really cool paintjob, but thats just a LITTLE bit too much for me! Maybe if they downsized it just a tad!!! Thats just my opinion!!!!

Crazy Horse GT · 04-09-2002, 08:06 AM

i gotta agree with topless, it's a bit too much a real cop target, but eveybody likes their own thing, so if it's what you want , hey it's your dime

mustangdani55 · 04-09-2002, 09:49 AM

i estimate that paint job to be around 3500-4 grand. Looks like the flames are the ones that the House Of Kolors sells. it is a template that you can lay over the paint and spray it and voila..you have flames. Of course the paint could be the factor there. we only use Sherwin williams 2 stage paint and the really expensive fast dry clear.

Here's a pic of my FAVORITE car from when we did AutoRama/Houston last T'Giving! This Chevelle was a '10' car all the way!!!! The paint was incredible! I loved how it was done, and very tasteful too I thought!
Sorry about the crappy quality of the pic. It turned out kinda dark!!!!!!
