Guess it really depends on what kinda market there is for the flames in your area and who can pull off the look. After painting my uncles bike I have a ton of interest in people wanting stuff done to their cars and bikes just in my area. To do a paint set for a motorcycle would be about 2 grand and it would take a couple of days from start to finish. Now i am just starting out so I dont feel like i can charge as much as some of the big boys. For instance, lavallee can charge 6 grand for painting motorcycles and he will get business all day long because of his name and talent. to paint a car i know he is getting in the upwards of 15 grand. The paint and materials arent cheap by any means but the people will pay for your talent if they really want it bad enough.

 

Yeah the camaro was sweet looking from overhaulin. However i think i am gonna go with just a free flowin set of flames that wont have any restrictions from a racing stripe pattern. I think they will look right at home coming out of the ram air and then stretching down the hood. Should only take a day from start to finish so hopefully next week i will get a chance to tackle it.

 

Go for it man, you have all the talent and there's nothing like a rolling business card !

 

That looks great.

 

I'm sure whatever you do will look badass

 

rock chips aside, i think it would look pretty cool if the front bumper was on fire and it was getting sucked up into the ram air scoops and then spit out the rear going up the rear bumper - JMHO.

 

there is a guy in houston that does bad *** work the shop is called x-air.it is in sugar land. if any one wants his number just pm me

 

Here are some teaser pics of my hood that i painted last week. Not completely happy with the layout so its going back into the paint booth so I can tweak it a bit. Cant see in the pics but i made a stencil of the old ram air decal and used that as a shield for applying a coat of kandy apple to tint back the other layers, made for a cool ghost effect that you have to look really close to see. Should have it done by this weekend and i will post some decent pics up in a new thread so you can get the full effect.

 

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet
You definately got some talent

 

looks awesome, looks like you found a new career

 

That looks awesome. Can't wait on seeing the final pics. You gonna it to the back and stripe the hatch the same way?

 

wow, thats all i can say...

 

I'll comment as soon as I can find my jaw again...

 

OMG That has to be the best flame job I've ever seen.

 

Damn dude, you really have some good talent. Keep with it .

 

That's awesome, you should apply the ram air decal on the side flame over it, then when you are done peal it back that would be cool, and if you don't like it, you could always touch it up.

 

Hey man that's awesome.

Something kinda funny, I go to school at OSU and im talkin to this guy Grant and he is telling me about this dude that painted flames on his Ram Air. this was like 2 days ago. And anyway, im thinkin to myself, some dude on LS1Tech was talking about doing that so i mention your post and he says "Yes thats my friend!!!"

Crazy how small the world is, crazy.

Keep up the good work!!!!

He wont stop talking about driving your car for like that 2 minutes he did, he loved it.

 

Man that’s some Pimp Skills Right there. those flames are bad.

 

Youve prolly heard it all, keep doing what your doing, youve definitely got some talant!

 

Great job!
