    Jesse James' Mercury and Gl***guy's old Merc both have perfect scallop jobs.

    I'm a big fan of Winfield's fades, if I had to pick a favorite, it would be D'Agostino's '56 Lincoln.

    Tough tough question! I've been looking at....****yzing....brainstorming paintjobs for about 40 years. probably tens of thousands of jobs. I've seen some great efforts, but don't have a favorite choice.

    Well, I would have to say that a deep candy red would be my choice as best all-time color. It would have graphics that flow with the bodywork. Good contrast and enough complexity to keep it from looking amateurish. It would have cl***ic elements in the design, which also produce a feeling of value......but the color combo and part of the graphics would have to be a little "edgy"and unusual, so it does not get lost in a sea of great paint jobs.

    I have always loved the way either Purple or Green always clashes with the tail lights! :cool:

    Richard Glymph. Anything by Richard, but the Jerry Conklin yellow chevy fastback is a good example.
