Look at the "bright" side, the police won't have any trouble spoting it if it is ever stolen.

So Justin does this guy live in Newburgh? Probably not but I am there an awful lot and that would definitely grab my attention if I saw it on the road.

The creativity and talent that went into that paint job was incredible. The more I looked at it the more I appreciated the paint scheme. Thanks for sharing the picture. I enjoy looking at everyone's ideas of the ultimate car. I'm still trying to come up with my idea of ultimate.

It's a cool looking paint job...there's just so MUCH of it...
It would look good on a custom motorcycle, but it's a little busy for something larger like a car.

I love this paint on my bike, but I can't imagine it on my vette.

I like the paint job. It is one of a kind I have looked around at different custom paint jobs and this is one of a kind. Where can you find a site the just shows off custom paint jobs?
