That looks great. I generally prefer 1 solid color, but that is pure sex.

Hey, I took the pictures.......

I know, pathetic thread jump......

Anyway, Ellis that came out great last night, it will be even deeper after he wet sands the orange peal....I really would have liked to have gotten more pictures with flash but there were to many particulates in the air (flash haze)...Hopefully, we can get more this week....

Thanks Guys. I have been planning this Paint for eight years I am also excited to see how it looks when it is done.

Most people will only get to see the black and blue on the back of the car

That looks kinda cool. My car needs to be painted. What are people paying for a decent paint job these days?

Lots of variables but....

Decent 1 color paint job with minimum bodywork, about 2k should cover it...

Full on paint job like Ellis's, 6-10k minimum with body work (Quite a bit of factory panel massaging on the custom stuff). You could do less body work but any blemishes really show up fast on multi color and tons of clear coat.....

Some guys around my area have paid 15k for perfect paint on their restored cars....

Friends in the business can really drop the price though, and make it way more affordable....

We have not tallied the full cost yet. I am over $600 in paint alone. This is not a perfect job but it will be very nice

Jimmy and I need to get over tonight and snap a few more pics
