Wonder how many hours and gallons of paint it took to do that to the car? I would be scared to even dare breath on it much less drive it.

Nice paint work but you couldn't give it to me, let alone be seen driving it. I would like to admire the work in person for a 1/2 hour or so :beer: Just because I don't personally like it, doesn't mean I don't admire the quality of work or the thoughts behind it.

Thats fantastic. I wonder how much that cost to do. I know who ever did it might have done it for free or whatever, but I mean what something like that would cost. I bet its in the 10's of thousands. I remember that Kenworth T-200 that had dragons and medieval scenery painted on it front to back, and the whole paint job cost like 240 thousand dollars

I've seen a truck artistically done, and it turned out it was professionally vinyl wrapped.

Any chance that might be vinyl graphics properly laid?

It's nice, regardless.

I agree with Stalwart, I would ruin the paint job in a month. I admire the quality and time put into the car but it's not for me. Plus it's a gasser,lol.

No worries Don. It's a real true to life MRAP. I took the pics a few years back at the AUSA Winter Symposoium. Mega suspension travel too.

Ask me how I know - a good grade of PPG clear coat without hardner will run you $300 per gallon - the reds in there are the highest price (all the colors in the spectrum).

Being an ole biker fanatic from the 60's and shooting lacquer job - Centauri - etc etc over lace air brushing on choppers - I admire a truely great painter.

A good BC/CC job that it might be and I say MIGHT - took many hours to layout and shoot to perfection - no even mentioning if the cut it later and polished it which I have no doubt they did.

Sittin on a platform - not driving it only for show is a good place for it - otherwise worthless. I would like the $$$ they put into just taping the thing off in stages.
