yeah i always thought of vinyl. but for some reason paint just looks so much better. vinyl is cool dont get me wrong but i dont really like it since....shoot i dunno. since its a sticker LoL

i used to work at a vinyl shop doing designs and stuff. the money good companies charge for graphix is rediculous. for a good setup your paying at least 200. for a sticker. i dont think its worth it. the good thing about ghost flames is exactly that. you dont notice it all the time. but when you do...

Ghost patterns are a great touch to any car whether it's a daily driver or a ful all out show car. In your case, Long...you have a dark colored car. So go with a dark color for the ghost patterns. If you add a lighter color, then it will show up more than you want in the sunlight. By sticking with a darker pearl color, then the patterns will strictly show up at specific sun angles. That's basically all ghost patterns are. Pearl color added to clear. There is a trick to spraying it, so if you really don't have too much experience shooting those types of paint jobs...definitly have a pro do it.

Good luck man.... wink.gif smile.gif

You could try this Chromaflair simulator, its not that good, but it gives a general idea.

damn, if I was repainting my car it would have to be VW yellow, that way your CF hood would really stand out.
The chameleon color has been done to death on cars(my opinion)
