Man, if that is him, he must have been having a good month when he done the flames on that Ford (in the original post)...none of those other cars look as good as that one.

I would guess that the black car (as pictured in this thread) would be at least $10k, but that cheap would be surprising. A buddy of mine does flames, and regular ones take a lot of time, so I would hate to know how many hours someone poured into that.

 

I love those realistic flames....

They are actually not that hard to do....I used to airbrush murals on stock cars and do lettering and was starting to get the hang of the flames, but they by far never looked that good. I have seen some unbelievable things done with an Airbrush.....It caused me to just put my airbrush away since I knew I would never get there.....I go through the same thing with my guitar every once in awhile after I listen to masters such as: Satriani, Eric Johnson, SRV, etc.

I was just thinking on the way into work - Jesse James' flames ain't got nothin' on these.

I just still can't believe that gas tank. ^^^^^

 

I love realistic looking flames. That is just badass.

 

That paint job would rock on a wet bike

 

Yeah, those look amazing!!

 

It's melting someone put it out!!!

 

Thanks for resurrecting this from the dead, I missed it the first time around, those flames are simply amazing

 

That bar none is the best flame job I have EVER seen.I wonder if anyone has ever tried to put it out.

 

The paint jobs run from right about $6k on up. I have not talked to the guy but One of our camaro club guys had his truck done by Mike. It cost him $8k
What he does is is starts with one color & does it everywhere then goes to the next & so on until hes done.

Heres Dicks truck:





Oh by the way the guy is in the Seatle area. The guys name is Mike Lavallee. HIs website is www.killerpaint.com. His work was one of Monster garages Mosters.

he also painted Jesses truck

 

 

Maybe he canbecome a sponsor and give us all a GP discount.

 

YEP that's the guy that painted that car! AWESOME isn't it!! I saw it a few months ago online and sent the guy an e-mail for a price to paint my helmet with those flames..... he wanted $600 and 4-6 weeks to do it so I had to pass.

after I didn't have the nerve to ask what it would cost to paint my WHOLE car! too far out of my price range!

 

That is hot, no one can touch that paint job!! No pun intended.
