Today's obsession is with 'hibiscus' paint jobs. So my challenge to you is to bring me flowers! Anyone got any decent pics of lovely, subtle flowery paint? (esp that devine prosign splitty!) Also - how the jaffing ada do you get a paint job like that??? Must take about a million hours! Can anyone think of a feasable method of DIY-ing a similar style, without it looking shat? FANKS  |

These paint jobs are awesome, i fuggin love em. Now IIRC, this has some flower effect. although not so clear from the pic, someone had a better pic from another show i think.  *plots ametuer novelty paint job* |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

That beetle is MEGA MEGA MEGA.
Not -very- keen on the overall 'look' of it, but the paint and interior is mind-blowingly kool.
That was one of the cars I had in my head when I started the thread.
I have pics of it somewhere too, but Photobucket is 'illegal' at work now. Gheys.

Also have you seen the Pontiac in the new Custom Car? This one?  Sorry for the curse word pic, the only one I could find. That's my mate Col's Pontiac Catalina, he owns Kustom Kolors down in Bournemouth. Its sold to a guy in Newbury now, and Col's just bought a new project... |

LOL.... I has been dribbling over the prosign website most of the day already Sadly if I emptied the contents of my bank account into my car in crisp £20 notes right now, all I would have is £20 and a lot of empty space.  <shakes fist at poverty> |
