That does look awesome, I'd just be scared to have a paint job like that on my truck because if anybody ever scratched it I'd have to kill them.

 

looks like the "el pollo loco" van that caters paint job..

 

That looks pretty good, but i'm a sucker for the fake flames.

 

Big $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

glad somebody did some flames right. about time. i cant stand those ugly flames everybody does. i think it is so ugly.

 

ah, very sweet

the pic of the car....that isnt a real car is it? if so, those are some big *** flowers on that plant...

 

it's size... and the plastic stand weren't giveaways that ths is a model car to you?

 

There is an black H2 Stretch Limo in Glen Burnie, MD (around the corner from me) that has these flames. I asked the limo company and apparently they were done in California by the same guy who does Jesse James's choppers. Looks sweeeeeeet (even though I absolutely loathe H2's) I would LOVE to find someone to do the "butane" (blue/white as apposed to red/yellow) on my truck. I'll post pics later.

 

I like those flames....there cool....I like blue flames too...

 

LOL.....some how i knew i would find a post from you here yumcheetos!

 

yeah those flames IMO are the only way to go if i were to do any.. i think the guy that does them is Mike Lavalle?? somethin like that anyway... his work is crazy!

 

I put flames out...hahahaha

Looks good tho...

 

That would look very good on the front of a Lightning Gary. It would really set it apart from all of the others.

 

it looks nice as hell, but it would be cheaper to actually set your car on fire.....

 

Do it on the L Gary

 

LOL...I dont know how setting a vehicle on fire would be cheaper....but whatever. *Goes outside and starts to douse truck with gasoline*

a how-to for lighting your car on fire???

 

lol....thats cool

 

Gary here is one for you to drool on, guy that did it is out of OKC

 

such a great paint job and he couldnt put a lighting bumper on it geezz

 

What about the hot seat?

 

this thread is kind of old. when i started it i hadn't given buying a lightning much of a thought. i saw this on one of the "rides" episodes i believe. it takes a long time and several different coats of paint to do it. that f150 looks good but not as good as the guy that originated it. he painted a black traffic helo for some television station and one day as it was landing some passer by actually thought it was on fire and called the fire dept.

 

those are hott paint jobs!!
