Anyone putting on a cool paint job or decals on.
The racing stripes are cool but i think it could be better
maybe a cobra or something

 

I was going to do stripes on the silver I ordered, but will probably have some type of paint job on the redfire I bought. Just not sure what yet.

 

Ah-ha..... Somebody else on board that 'Ordered' Silver but purchased a different color. I also ordered Silver, but after a month and a half with no build date, I grabbed a Torch Red (should'a been my #1 all along).

 

I ordered Silver originally, then switched to Redfire.

I'm not planning on adding any stripes, but if I were I think white stripes would look good with my car's Redfire exterior.

 

How about getting the stripes made at a sign shop? There, you have total freedom with design and colour...you can get them made at any width, and they have many colours to choose from. If you're confident, you could buy them RTA (ready to apply), then put them on yourself. It's not that hard, just apply them wet so you don't get bubbles.

You could cut the vinyl yourself too, but you'd have no way to tape them, so it wouldn't work too well.

 

I think flame racing stripes would look cool. Kinda like how Chip Foose did it on one of the cars they overhauled

like this about half way down http://www.superchevy-web.com/features/0407sc_tv/

 

nice

 

You can't install thick stripes on the new stang while they are wet. There are too many curves. Trust me, I know. I had to put them on dry and you have to be a pro to do this.....well, unless you like bubbles then I say go for it.

 

I'm trying to get Mike Lavalee from Killerpaint.com to put flames down the side. Just trying to find 4k's under a rock somewhere.

 

That is cool...well except the Ian Zering part.... (insert gay smilie here since I can't find it)

Mike Lavallee did that paint job for Chip Foose.

 

Well did anyone get those paint jobs?

 

I agree. It's hard enough to end up with no bubbles on a completely flat surface...throw in some compound curves, and good luck!

The bubbles should disappear after a while, from the sun 'molding' them to the car. You can poke the bigger ones with a thin, sharp needle, then press towards the hole to let the air out.

 

i was thinkin about stripes but after i saw one of the jobs a dealer did (striped over the car that didnt go down the bumpers, and had a spoiler) they charged $2000!!!! their stripes were crappy. makes me want to get them painted but if any aftermarket stripes r gonna be like that then im not getting them. i wish i was able to show u guys but ud have to see them in person.

 

I haven't got anything done yet. I have an idea for it. Gotta wait till after surgery to get it done though. I won't be doing a lot on it. Just a little something on the back end for now.

REALLY want some Mike Lavallee flames though. Maybe I can afford that in a few years.

 

GTVroom,

Mike doesn't deliver, you gotta drive your car to Sonohomish, WA.

I'm trying to come up with the 4K for me. Got my savings up to $65.00.

Guess it's going to be awhile.

 

I was thinking about ghost flames, or just ghost like stripes on my sonic blue. Still checking out different paint chips to see what would work best.

 

I checked out a local paint company yesterday. I was looking to get mine painted like the Steeda car (or swingle's car). The guy only wanted $565 to paint the hood, mirrors, spoiler, and the area between the tail lights.

 

what about like a painted cobra or someting
