If you're using a shop that's cutting you a deal, make sure they're up to the task of doing ghost flames or anything else you decide on.
That kind of stuff is a "black art" and if the shop doesn't have practice with what you're asking then it may not turn out the way you imagine.

i think maybe you should do silver and gunmetal for the color of your car, then black ghiost stripes or something like that. I know it may be cheaper but having your car repainted black is kinda stupid in my mind, cause the minute you get your freshly painted black car home, and you wash it for the first time, swirl city. It's such a bitch to keep clean, i would almost spend the extra money and get a different color. Gunmetal or silver, with black accents/stripes/ghost flames/whatever I think would look cool as hell....

I'm about to repaint my black ws6 I bought wrecked and just about have finished. I've been thinking about ghost flames. normaly I don't like flames or keeping a black car clean but I think it would look sick on a ws6. For a camaro I don't think it would. I personaly would paint it the viper gray and keep the roof black.

I say silver with a little light blue pearl. I had my nose cone a door repainted on my Black WS6. I was so thinking of painting it silver, my friend has a silver Lt1 WS6 and I love the way it looks and always looks cleaner then my car. But I didn't want to spend the time or money to paint the entire car and jam it(t-top car to) I did spend so time buffing and polishing the entire and it looks sick now. But I think if you have the $$ and time you might change the color noqw if it's something you have been wanting to do. It may be just me but silver is my favorite color on these cars. I like SOM but I bet it not cheap.
