I am an airbrush artist myself, but i don't do automotive work. I can really apreciate the work that goes into that. I think its a GREAT job done on your car, very well done tru fire, and definetely makes your C6 stand out from ANYONE else's!!!

new pic's as requested
Some of you may know us, we were the previous owners of the 1998 with the checkered flag airbrushed paint, lambo doors etc.... The car was in October 2006 Vette magazine "Attention Getter". One of the pics below is of the last car.
And... The others are of the new one, interior pieces and the removable top. We have been trying to take more night pics, but the undercar lighting and all doesnt photo well. Sorry
We still like the grill.... To each his own..

I wasn't sure if this one might have been yours as well. I took this shot last August at the "Vettes at the Village" event in Destin, FL.

Prior to your car, I've never been into the look of flames painted on a car. However, who ever painted your car did an AWESOME job!
That is the most realistic fire and the best looking paint job I've ever seen on a car. Very unique.
Thanks for sharing it with us!

I have some other thoughts why anyone would want a car like this but , as they are uncomplimentary, will keep them to myself.
It's your car so do whatever you like but I think this is a terrible thing to do to a new Corvette.
