Custom Paint So I'm going to be repainting the Tahoe soon. I'm going back with the stock gray, but in talking to the painter last night, he offered to do some custom work at a great price to showcase some of his work.
I originally planned to just get rid of the moldings and just make it a really clean looking ride, but this has me thinking since it's a deal that would be hard to pass up. He suggested going with some ghost flames, but I'm not sure if I want to have ghost flames on my DD or not. I've pondered some kind of a hockey stripe like the Chargers or a single black stripe down the hood and rear, possibly with ghost flames on it.
I'm all for custom, but I'm not sure if I want to go this flashy with my DD or to just save it for my truck. Any suggestions? If you have pictures, send them my way. Thanks guys!

If I were you, I wouldn't do neither ghost flames nor the stripe on a tahoe. I would maybe do a 2 tone MAYBE if the colors went good enough. But its your decision go for it.

Paint jobs of any kind are expensive and custom paint jobs are outta sight, I'd go for it. If he's good at what he does you will have to look hard to see the ghost flames.

I'm pretty sure he'd be willing to do some sick things to the truck later if I wanted him to, so I'm starting to learn towards clean. I still have a few weeks to decide though.
You're right J.R., I want them to remember the TAPHOE. Man, I need to get that vanity plate we've talked about!
