that can be done on almost any body. just mask tribal flames paint tribal flames cover area to be blue ..spray black then pull the making tape up on the blue side paint the blue.. stickers and whalah!
 
i probly could do it, but i want it to look professional. nice clean lines and the silver have a black shadow on the blue side. if i could only afford a real escalade...

do you airbrush.. pm me and i could proabably give you some pointers i airbrush every day after school like right now.
 
Doesn't look impossible, but unfortunately I have one on the hook already or I'd volunteer....
 
mya i also add to my previous replies that i willbe willing to paint it up for you...bussiness at fridge designs aint quite boomin. but summer is near to save the day
 
[shadow=orange] Fridge unfortunately i dotn have a air brush, the good old rattle cans have done there job for me. I'm sittin here tryin to figure a way to do the shadow with a rattle can, maby use a funel, so it narrows the spray.[/shadow]

[shadow=green]Candyman thanks for the offer, what are u painting now? that marble effect looked sweet.[/shadow]

[shadow=pink]*EDIT*
Fridge thanks for the offer, do u have any paint jobs i can see?[/shadow]
 
what do you want to shade? if your willing to pay the 4 bucks to send it down i can do the shade work and ship it back to you or just paint the whole dam kabootle.

dont have any pics up on the net now with until i post the 2 bodies I've done so far maybe tomorrow one is a chamaleon mustangwith pearl blue flames and just my mint green lambo with ramtech's awesome police lights.
 
i want to shade the tribal flames, like give it a shadow. so it pops. gives it depth. i figured the tribal flames would get painted first then the black then do the shadow on the side where the blue is going to be, then paint the blue in.

an airbrush can and is used by many painters including myself. usually you can go to your local hobby shop and get parma faskolor, createx auto air, or regular createx.
 
Pactra paints work VERY well too. Just make sure you get some laquer thinner and a WELL VENTILATED area to work in!
 
i dint know pactra made anything other than the spray can.. o yea spaz stix is another brand
 
i talked with the guy FRIDGE recomended and :censored: for what i wanted it would cost around $120. u guys think this is a OK price? it was $38 just for the body :whhooo:

i hope that this dosent incriminate me as i just said that i know a guy that does some real nice bodies wow $120 is he talkin american or canadian because he does live in canada. you can just send it to me have no jobs at the moment but have alot of people to come so act fast

*edit*
let me add it up for you there
pearl blue createx 5.00
black createx 5.00
(more likely)exact to semi exact tribal flames 10 bucks

a total of $20
plus $5 shipping

Now why would you wanna do that? The buzz is half the joy! :cloud9:

In all seriousness though, the thinner itself is pretty potent ... open the garage door and do it there.
 
an average body adds up to about $30 in new york wiht tax and a free can of pactra at my lhs so it is roughly about 5 bodies LMAO like i said ill do it for you and if you dont like it ill keep the body and give you the money LOL
