New paint. What ya think?
Ok, my car is back up an running after a 3 month vacation to the paint spa. After leaving my previous job and starting my business, my car became the first guinee pig to get the "big" treatment. I'm not done with it yet. I still have a lot of art work to do on the engine pieces and interior. I know some of you will harp on the "skull/monster" theme, but one's taste is not all. I tried to paint it in a way that was "me", but would appeal to most.
In case your woundering. It is a '97. Mods: Paint of course, molded side scoops, 18x10 front and 19x11 rear motorsport rims, all opening screens, Bassani headers and exhaust w/x-pipe, Crane roller/rockers, BBK 80mm throttle body, Weiand polished intake manifold, Vortec polished supercharger, Vararam intake, Pioneer AVIC1 nav system w/custom molded center console. RWHP ~480. These are to name the big items.

I think the work looks nice, but I am not sure I like the theme, but you are asking for an opinion

Very talented. I love all the work. Doesn't look at home on a corvette but I'm a boring all black kind of guy.
