Does ANybody know how much it would be to paint ghost flames on a truck? something similar to this. http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k7...ghotflames.jpg

 

if you and get it done for under a grand, dont.

 

so price range around 1000-2000?

 

No way. Between 600.00 - 800.00 around here. Those are not good "ghost flames".....should be less visable.

 

when it comes to paint you get what you pay for ... if you pay a cheap price most likely you will...well, get cheap flames if this is done right you are going to be painting the hood both fenders and both doors... thats alot of clear plus you hafta tear down all those panels...then you hafta lay out the flames then....cut it and rub it when they are done with the paint work itself . it is not a simple task. i work in a body shop and i couldnt get the materials for less than around $400, but then again i am not gonna paint my truck with a crappy paint, or have uneven flames. by the way, gost flames are usualy nothing but pearl thats why you only see them at certain angles and they dont normally show up in pics very well. i just dont want you to try to find a bargain and be disappointed in the end result because then it would be a complete waste of money, not to count if you would have it put back to stock or redone, flames are easy, good looking flames are tricky, but i am picky

 

Yeah i get what you all are sayin, you actually need to find someone who has done them before and that is very good at it, you just dont want to find some dude who will do it for cheap, its sort of like a hair cut, hair cut school shop charge i think like 4 bucks so they can expirement with you. well any ways , are these ghost flames, i found the galley for this truck, maybe you guys can tell me if this is a good job or not. http://fordtruckworld.tenmagazines.c...68-album-44501

 

i dont think those are ghost flames. ghost flames are usually like a shade different from your other paint, so you can barely see them. like a ghost

 

How about these?

true ghost flames are done over the base coat and under the clear coat they are just innercoat clear wit pearl tint and they are only visible in certain lights hence the name ghost flames they come and go

 

Correct
