Thanks guys. No, I'll wash it myself, or I'll take it back to the guy who painted it and have it buff it out again later on. I wouldn't trust any of the drivethru car washes around here with it. I've got a goal of trying to make it one of the calendar cars within the next couple years, I want to get some bigger rims and do some engine dressup first. What sucks is that it'll just look like a black car in the pics, lol

I tried calling him earlier, he's a busy busy man. I'll get it for you. I've been asked that by quite a few people so I'd like to know what to tell them myself.

Beautifully done! I like from the side you can't even see the stripes let alone the flames. Not a flame fan, but it looks fantastic!

The car looks really good man. Do the stripes continue to the hatch?

I called him today and asked him about the stripes. I don't know much about paint, but on the stripes he said he used a white pearl powder. And yes it's been cleared over, that's why it has a little edge to it. And yes, they continue on the roof and I had him go under the wing instead of on top of it.
