Default Anyone recognize this custom paint job?

This 2004 was recently purchased by one of our Club members. He's trying to find out who did the paint work.



The picture doesn't do it justice... supposedly, it was a $10k paint job!

He purchased it from a Ford dealer in Nebraska. The paint job might've been done by the previous owner in the Chicago area.

It looks an awful lot like something Mike Lavallee would do, he owns Killerpaint.com
And the "True fire" technique looks like his work.

I tend to agree with that. But if I saw it in person, I might have a different opinion.

All depends the car could have been red before the paint job. $10k is very reasonable if the whole car was repainted and the flames were added. If its just for the airbrushing, then someone got burned.

Why did you get your vette repainted?
