Default Lets see your custom paint job!

I know a lot of members have custom paint jobs. Love to see yours.
I know PFYC has an awesome blue/yellow, Onebadvette has amazing black/silver, Saw dragon on the hood on another, and others have ghost, love to see what some of you have done.

Dont you think it would be wise to get the engine running first before you worry about the paint..

Iceburgh, you have an AMAZING car. I have liked it since your old setup. I hope I never come againist you in a car show or I will vote for your car myself...LOL And to answer your question no I dont have deep pockets, I have a great artist that wants to take on the challenge of my car and he is only charging me for materials not his time.
I would be afriad to drive that around...

I dont drive it as much as I should but when I do you just have to be careful. I use a bra, mirror covers clip on mud flaps and have been know to use tape a time or two

Just south of 20. I have seen other jobs that are very good for around 15-to 16K
But it is tough to find someone that will take the time and do it correctly with out spending big bucks. Most places want to fix cars and paint them for insurance...in and out 3-4 days and make good money. A custom shop takes month upon months so they need to charge.
I was very lucky and had help from Meguiars with the paint.
