Sick color man. Paint job like that now the car deserves some CCW's cause anything other than a nice set of polished wheels are gonna be a disappointment.

only problem with high dollar wheels is the price. unless anyone has a set of ccw's they want to donate, its going to take a little bit to save up for some nice rims. Definatly going with polished over chrome though.

hellfire red technically, we actually had to customize the mix because when we did a spray out card it was coming out too dark,

Awesome job!
One question- Why the ghost graphics post-candy and clear? Wouldn't putting them under the candy be "ghost"?

the clear will be sanded down, the graphics laid out and then recleared, the airbrush guy wanted to do it over the clear to make it easy to correct any errors. As apposed to putting the graphics over the base then doing the candy and clear.

I agree, Paint looks great. But your wheels will either make or break your car!

That PPG?

My Impala's gonna be going either HOK Brandywine over solar gold or root beer over solar gold. Good paint jobs like that are in the neighborhood of 4-6k without body work, more with the body work.

Great looking car. I figured being the gold base the flip would be harder, but it looks nice regardless!
