O crap...please dont flame me for it but I Kinda like it... The paintjob wi in the area of tasteful and the only 2 things that I really dont like are 1- I dont like 24's...Maybe 22's with more tire would have been better....and 2- Its not an SRT 8....

Just my opinion though...I do custom paint on Bikes and cars and at least its not all crazy graphics and stuff.

Love the color, but I also think the wheels are too big.

Obviously a variation, but you see his ghost stripe pattern in there (I don't know if that's really what you'd call it).........
Here was my old expedition I did a few years back. Very similar pattern.

I am a metalworker among other things...he could have fabbed up a bigger tip with some 3/16th steel and had it chromed ...I would fill the entire cutout area with a big tip....

But I really do like the jeep...

I do that effect with custom bikes...you simply do one of 2 things

1- use a darker base color under the candy where the darker areas are.
that will make the color of tint if you will different that the surrounding color.

2-layer more layers of candy in the darker areas....Candy is awesome in that the more layers you spray, the darker it gets....It is really useful when doing characters/skulls/etc.....Oh and realistic flames too...

I call them ghost graphics too but, real ghost designs are the ones that can only be seen by looking in direct sunlight and at a particular angle. Simple ones can be made by doing a pearl in the clear. That way you cant see them til you have that direct sunlight...

I did a phenomenal Yamaha R1 that had its debut at Hot Import Nights in chicago, Ibelieve in 2004...RPM Motorsports booth.

I might put up some pics of my work later...

I like the color and the wheels! If the rear was dropped an inch it would look better though.

If it had the rear bumper lights in place it could actually pass for an SRT8 on the outside.
