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

Here are some pics of some cars I have done.

 

Getting some REALLY cool ideas for the truck here....

So, whats the base yearly lowrider/show car-type guy's cotton budget?
Looks like they are riding on a cloud in some pics, cool if ya' get it right.
In others...various thoughts come to mind: On fire. Blown Radiator. Stuck in a cocoon, Cheech and Chong underhood...

Please post more awe-inspiring paint...I'm getting close to D-day!

 

More pics of that 58..PLEASE!!!!!!

thinking I may do some lace panels on the hood, trunk, and roof. I really need to get some good shots of the flames as they are abalone flake over white.

 

Finally some good pics of my Capri

 

Lovin' the new flames zman!

 

sum lace and flake I did !!!!!

 

Amazing thread.

 

thanks man, been working up the plans for lace panels now...

 

I made my first attempt at lace this past weekend.allignment could have been better, but good enough for now.

 

Looks good! I plan on trying some lace on my now white roofed Acadian. Hope it turns out good as yours.

 

Thanks. I drove my comet about 500 miles yesterday down to Primer Nationals and you should have seen the rubbernecking on the freeways. Made me laugh to see snooty people in there luxury cars try to look away and act like they didn't like it, but with huge smiles on their faces.

 

here are some more pics of the 58.

 

stars, stripes, flames, candys, pearl two weeks with an airbrush

 

outstanding!

 

Thanks! The longer it's there, the more I like it.

 

Went through the whole thread tell the end amazing flames and lacing. Looks like the custom guys have a ways to catchup with some of the wild lowrider work.
I was looking for examples of double flames one overlapping on to another and didn't find any. Would of like to see some ghost flames too.

Here is the 56 panhead that I shot, HAMBer Gasser57 designed and striped . For a local guy called Funnelhead

 

Coolest Paint Trophy from the Invasion 09.... skate deck with lace, flake, patterns, and candy....

 

My Capri

 

Nice flake job NADS! wanna do a lace job on the PURPLE DEMON at next years RUMBLERS show for me...PAL!

 

I get it, I really do, but the lace thing...I was never in to it even back in the day. I have seen fishnet hose used for some effects but on it's own, well maybe on the lil woman's car someday.

 

Of course, would love to.

 

Here's a couple I did awhile ago. Nothing fancy just flaked .
