Default Anyone have true flame paint jobs?

I spoke to my old boss who im still good friends with today. He runs a local shop. He has never seen my car before and really liked it. In fact he offered to custom paint some "True flames" if I let him put some of his logos on my car. I have never seen a WS6 with true flames but am interested in Firebirds and Camaros with similar paint jobs.

Thanks!

Those are very nice, subtle, not radical. Do you have black rims or chrome? jw

^^yeah i did not want to overkill the car. I paint as a side job and i usually get tired of a certain theme pretty fast so i did something i could easily cover or not overtake the looks of the car. I shopped the top pic with black rims, they are oem aluminum polished vette rims.

Well the guy will do anything I want, subtle things like phoenixs car or full front and all for free, he just wants his logo on the car.

The red fire in true fire looks awsome . You have got a friend though we get 2000 to 2500 to set a front cap on fire. Your buddy is hookin you up. Im a big fan of red ,green and blue true fire. They are also just as easy if not easier and less time the the regular trufire paint job. Just my 2 pennies.

Yea and he actually charges much more than that. He does great work but I know if he wants to put his logo on my car its not going to be a little sticker, I think hes talking like door size.

I like the thought of true fire but I am not big on cars covered wiht flames, The above pic of Phoenix car is perfect...im just not sure I want logos everywhere making my car look like a ricer

we usually put a 1 inch high by 5and half long name brushed intothe decklid or some where. Im the same on my car i like a lot of detail not loud colors and graphics that blind you. Id figure out what size he wants to put and then decide if anything is worth it.

^^^^Not true flame, but it looks good.

I decided not to do it...I told him once I find a hardtop Z28 to make into a track car id let him put some flames on that, but not on my WS6.
