If anyone can do it and make it look good it'll be Mike Lavelle. But are you sure you don't want an Aztec temple and a priest sacrificing a hot south american virgin instead?

Yeah if you are going to do something like that I would keep it more "traditional" like a nice flame job. Killer Paint does some of the best work I have seen, especially their flame jobs.

yeah, I think that's a little too busy, IMHO... but hey, it's your car, you do what you want as long as you're happy with it.

IMO you shouldn't 'settle' for a paint job based on cost. If you can't afford what you want right now I don't think you would be happy in the long run. Paint is expensive! I would just keep saving up if I were you.

I am re-doing the vinyl on my car and thought about something cheeper than the black reflective but I realized that if I went with something cheeper I would always wish I had the black reflective again. The point of saying all that was to say this: Go with what you really want and don't settle.

Wonder what he gets to paint a car now that he famous? I don't mean that in a sarcastic way, just wonder what he gets. Guy's got skills, got some prime TV just wonder how much of a bank roll it would take.

I wouldn't do it..I'd do like the others said and get some flames or something...the dragon thing is way too ricey...

I don't know who's car this is, but these are the kind of flames I want on my car

The blue dragon is COOL looking. Not sure how it would look on a car tho. Maybe as a mural on the trunk lid.....
