My SSR has been in the paint shop for 1 1/2 weeks for Pearl Red Ghost Flames. I pick it up tomorrow but I thought I would post a few prep pics. Finished pics to follow.

Can't wait

Hi Machell, Thank you. It has been a terrible 1 1/2 weeks. I've really missed the SSR. Every evening when it cools off I really missed going for a top down ride. You're right, I am excited and tomorrow seems a long way off. I'll get it out in the sun and post some more pics as soon as I can. Thank's again.

I love the flames. I thought you couldn't do anything to make it nicer than it is. You keep proven me wrong.

:cool

Awesome Flames

Hey lloger,

Your new paint job look AWESOME! Like the subtle shades of the flames... can't wait to see the final photos... :cool

Thanks

Thanks guys. Hi praise indeed. I thought about it for awhile, trying to decide what to do. My wife wanted ghost flames from the day I picked it up. The painter painted up 4 color samples for me and I spent about 3 hrs. looking at them and trying to make up my mind. It was between Pearl Gold and Pearl Red and the more I looked I was leaning toward the red. I showed the samples to my wife and it took her about 3 seconds to say, PEARL RED. Of course you can see that I agreed right away.

Way cool

Love 'em - now I'm jealous and it's gonna cost me.

 

[Marc NY]

hmmmm

oh my.... hmmm I wonder how much that would cost to have done???

 

[lloger]

cost

The painter I went to sanded both doors, both front fenders, the hood, and the complete front end. He laid out the flames, masked the whole car, painted the flames and then cleared over everything that was sanded. He then wet sanded with 2000 grit paper to take out any ridges and then washed and polished. He also color matched the engine cover and is doing ghost flames on there also. He didn't get that done so I have to go back Monday to pick it up. All said and done, out the door. $1800.00.

[Marc NY]

Thanks for sharing - now I'm really salivating

 

[wildcat66]

Very subtle and sexy too!

Very Awesome!
Nicely done. It looks very nice. In fact it insired me to save up some money and get something like that done to my black one...not pearl red, but a dark color. Looks very good on yours! Way to go!!

Engine cover pics

Just picked up my engine cover today. Had Mr. D color match and put the ghost flames on the engine cover also. This was included in the price of the ghost flames on the car.
