I'm new and i'd like advice about custom paint

Post by HappyVal »

Hi, i'm new here, my boyfriend went out and bought me an 84 spree yesterday. He's an airbrush artist and he's agreed to paint it for me, but i'm not sure what kind of paint job to go with, flames? Mural? Scallops?
It's white now but i'm going to change that too, just dont know what color to choose..... any advise or ideas would be appreciated, thanks guys.....

be warned. if you use a cleaner like acetone or whatever to clean the glue off the panels after the stickers are removed it will also eat the existing paint. this is only on the side panels because they are painted but it can get ugly quick.if you are going to use this method make sure all the old paint is removed before repainting. just thought i would add that. that is what i had to do to mine.
