Art & Inspiration Candy, Lace, Flake, Flames... wanna see WILD custom paint...

...hopefully tastefully done wild custom paint but lets see those far out Lace and Flake jobs. Kirks car has me all giddy to spray some flake and lay some lace and maybe try some other bitchin paint techniques. lik eyou might have seen on some 60s customs or even lowriders and drag cars of the later 60s and early 70s.
i've got an old 40s Candy machine that needs a new paint job and i think the custom treatment will be the way to go on it. i've got my flamed 50s fridge in the living room...

 

Here is one of my Bird but it doesn't show very well in photos though. It Pops in the sun in person, All HOC Candy

 

you asked for it,

 

Those WERE the days, my friend...

Go here for plenty: http://rod-n-kustom.blogzine.jp/ It's a Japanese site with tons of good pictures. On the main page, the right hand column has links to pictures from a number shows.

Here's one to wet your appetite.

 

that's disgusting

 

That's kinda what I was thinkin' "Poopstain".

 

its good thing no one asked ya.

 

I could see a modern take done on most of those paint jibs. A little subtlety and they would be just great.

 

GREAT PICS!!!! That first one looks like it has some Walt Pray(sp?) roses.One of the greatest custom painters.Anyone know if he's still painting?

 

Dave (happy hoppy) great pics! KNUX!

 

nice shots, my man! probably my favorite pictures posted here ever.

 

If you're not creative enough to get ideas from that, maybe you shouldn't have opened the thread?

I think it's pretty badass.. the '67-68 Impala with Cragars is my new favorite.

 

man i gotta get me one of these , i have a 50s era fridge in my shop thats still kickin right along , its screaming for a paint job like this..

 

lets do this again,

















the 1st Gypsy Rose,

 

Heres a few of my favorties

 

here's sam gregories 40 chevy from 1972. painted by tom taylor. this is the car that got me hooked when i was a kid. sam was a close family friend, and this car was a part of my life growing up.





here's my 66 triumph painted in 1999 by tom taylor. tom knew how much sams 40 meant to me so when he painted my tank, he made it similar to the paint on the 40 chevy.

 

they sure don't make them like they use to.

 

My son's Shoebox....

 

I love that angle Bob. Car looks great. KNUX!

 

saw these at a show in phoenix...

 

TOAST. LOVE the Bird. wish i could afford to come all the way to your place and get a better look at it. looks real sweet!. thanks for the rest. now lets see more...

 

BAD BOB. i love that car. great angle too. i did an S10 with 60s style flames over the entire body. roof too.

 

The first pic is my "old" car. Sold it awhile back, the second is from goodguys a couple years ago.

 

looks like a turbo charged aluminum Olds 215 in the back of that thing. whatever it is. kinda looks like an Isetta SEDAN. if they ever made such a thing.

 

Few sneak peak picss from Bucky's. Tuki's fine work.

 

Shit the bed Fred!
Does look like an Isetta. and sure do be an Olds.
Some people have WAY to much time on their hands.

 

These are SO refreshing in this day and age of over priced, Bastardized, 20 something inch billet wheeled, resto whatever pieces of &*%$# they call cars.

Thanks and keep the pictures coming!!

 

man, I'm digging that paint job.

 

The Gypsy Rose 64 Impala...

Made famous from the opening credits of "Chico and the Man"!

I still get a kick out of seeing it.
