Nice. There was an H2 at SEMA this last year that had the same type of paint treatment and it looked like it was on fire.

Interesting. I like how the flame goes down the side of the car and it's not just the front. I wouldn't do it and that car though.

That dealership is right by my house. I think I may have to stop by and see it in person after work.

A couple months ago i seen a show on the process. The guy was magical with an airbrush. I think it took something like 12 or 13 layers to get it "real". All free hand. I should have taped it.

Looks alot better than cartoon flames.

I will probably get flamed for this, but I don't like the paint or the car. I respect the skill involved, but yuck. I hate how station wagons have come back into vogue, yet no one will call them station wagons (Toyota Matrix, Dodge Magnum, Mazda 3 5-door, Subaru Outback, etc.). I think in a couple more years there will be a glut of these things out there trying to be sold second hand, and they will become just as repugnant as the old Chevy Caprice boxmobile wagons are. Of course for some reason there is always a market for wagons. Just my $.02, don't kill me.

Wow... amazing paint job

I'd be almost afraid to drive that thing on the freeway... one good rock chip and that paint job is toast... no pun intended

Looks extremely tacky, IMO. Wheels don't match the car and there's too much fender gap.

not bad. i like how the paint warranty is still good. can you imagine trying to fix that?

but didn't one of jesse jame's monster garage machines have a similar flame job? i think it was a rocket powered celica. somehow that one looked more realistic. to each their own.
