Thread: Your Favorite Paint Jobs.

Tweet

Some of you may have already seen this. There are simply too many details in this one (my first pick) to post a bunch of pix. Therefore, I am attaching a link to a page that you can take a look at. Be sure to look at all the thumbnails to get an idea of the detail here. I really believe that this is an incredible work of art. No matter what your political persuasion is, from a standpoint of a paint job, I think you'll agree...

A Hero's Truck, A Rolling work of Art. Chrome all over V-8 - Fast Cool Truck.

thanks for the hero truck post. ive seen many pics of the paint work only before, i had no idea it was built to raise off the frame like that. that is an awsome truck in every detail!

I've seen a lot of excitement over this one, since it came out. We have a car with a similar theme here, and it gathers a crowd every time.

Here is another one I've liked since I saw it. The "use of color" blows me away!

This is by Mike Wiley, and the picture is from the HOK website.

I always liked the original paint job on the Blood Sweat and Tears Willys gasser as well. I couldn't find a pic; but, as I recall it also had an interesting red, white and blue American flag scheme very similar to the Mike Sullivan altered posted earlier.

I'm still looking, but what I have looked at so far, this is the best, by far. That is well done, not gaudy like some are doing these days with flames and graphics.

That guy is good. Maybe little too much for a street car, but the talent is obvious.

I knew I remembered this car, but could only find a black and white.

man oh man, labour intensive & buckets of talent!

I don't have much imagination on paint. Spray Tech gave me the complete run down some time ago for the paint on my Ranchero, should it ever get to that stage. My favorite is still Blue with White stripes... Oh yeah, got to get one of these some day for ME!!!!!!

An original or a kit? :-)~ LOL!

I think 5 were originally made......but then my memory has let me down sometimes.

Doubt seriously it would be an original, unless maybe I win the lottery!!!! I would like to buy just the body, then build my own tubular chassis.... Not a doubt in my mind what the color would be though. Just like the pic I posted!!!!!!

Classic themes are always good. AMERICAN RACING COLORS would certainly qualify as "classic". :-)

I've never been very creative or imaganitive on paint jobs.... Over the years all my Mustang projects have ended up Blue with White stripes, or Cobalt Blue with Silver stripes.... Occasionally I got really "creative" and used a different basecoat under the blue, but that's about it.....
