Thread: Your Favorite Paint Jobs.

Riiiiiiiiiiiight.....I forgot! That ability is what is making me so wealthy! :-)~

One of my own personal favourites---This is an early thirties Plymouth that I painted for a friend of mine, about 18 years ago. The car was painted black, then flamed, outside his garage with a plastic tarp stretched over it to keep bugs from falling out of the trees into the wet paint. Turned out awesome---God I was thin then

Sharp, really sharp..2 thumbs up.

Got a '33 Plymouth 2-door across the street from my house. He built it when non-Fords weren't popular......about 35 years ago! He's been driving it ever since. :-)

Here are the two I think you meant. The '37's style reminds me of some of the Foose 2-tones, with a "focal detail" added.

The '62 brings back memories. I had a red '62 409 Biscayne with orange lace paint, and can remember a similar "redish-brown" B/FX that ran central Illinois in the '70s.

Nice clean jobs.

Those are it! there is an up and coming car from them that I like even more than those two. As far as the "classic" black paint jobs, I would have to say that black is more of a test to the body guy, i think black is one of the easiest colors to spray. Just my opion! but I do love black, and always will

I personally like a dark color as part of a design, since they seem to have more "value", and are also more "sinister".

What I was actually hoping for, was to find out what makes one single car's paint scheme especially memorable to you, which would have to include more than a just one solid color. There have probably been more cars painted black, or white, than any other colors.

I have a lot of elements that I think help to create a memorable design, but I am curious to see what others find especially impressive in "that one special paint job"!

I WOULD HAVE TO THINK IT IS RED ON HOTRODS AS MOST PAINTED COLOR?

On hot rods, "historically", it's probably red, but, by far, it seems flat black is the color being used most today on those.

My comment about black and white was, of course, on all cars, not just rods. The real point was that you can't just pick a color as the "single most memorable paint job".

I've got a picture of that coupe in my "ideas" file. The skulls are pretty outrageous!
