Default New Paint

I am getting ready to repaint my 80, I am also considering Ghost Flames, The color is like maroon, How do you guys think that Ghost Flames would look? Thanks for your input.

I'm doing dark green onyx pearl with white stinger and scoop. I was considering ghost flames from the corners and behind the wheels myself, but I am afraid that mine is already approaching a little too much "disco" at this point.

bill.

Ghost flames are a great effect if they are done right. I have a friend with a burgundy 48 Chevy Pickup that has ghost flames and tiny skulls in the flames that can only be seen up close. Cool paint job.

I havent decided what I am going to do, I know that the paint will be done here in town, I guess I am just nervous about messing up my BABY.

Trust me, we all understand. Once you sink that kind of money in a paint job and it isn't what you want, you will be sick. Ultimately, the only person that you have to please is yourself. Best of luck to you and post some pics when it is done.

Well its coming down to the day that BABY will get a new look. I am just waiting for the weather to cooperate with me, so I can get it to the shop. I am going to go ahead with the ghost flames, that is all I have been thinking about. I really think that the car will look very good with the flames, I will be posting pics when all done.
