I usually go for the plain look, but this one has always stuck in my mind since I first saw it on TV

69NovaSS Nov 1st, 05, 06:34 AM That is one wild paint job...I normally like them a little more sedate than that one...but with that said WOW I would love that car.:thumbsup:
grag Nov 1st, 05, 07:20 AM It is not paint. It is printed vinyl.
69NovaSS Nov 1st, 05, 07:55 AM It is not paint. It is printed vinyl.
Ahhh so it is like a big sticker / decal?:)
grag Nov 1st, 05, 12:55 PM Yep, If I remember correctly they covered the entire car.
Motorhead62 Nov 1st, 05, 06:14 PM I tried contacting APE to do a decal for my cowl hood. Try are very busy and I had a hard time communicating with them. There stuff is very cool though.
rhamm1320 Nov 1st, 05, 06:29 PM Here is another picture (I was going to post it with the first one, but the picture was huge and took some time to resize)
I like the looks, but the price is very high (about equivalent to a similar paint job). The 'sticker' part I'm not comfortable with yet - would have to see one in person and its long term durability.

Fast Eddie Nov 2nd, 05, 06:00 PM It just doesn't seem to run to it's full potential, to date best time is 10.20. I really thought this car would run well into the 9's.:boring:
TERRY Nov 2nd, 05, 06:37 PM i watched the show sunday and they said it was spinning all over the place and they just could'nt get it to hook at all???
Motorhead62 Nov 2nd, 05, 11:44 PM I wonder how much that sticker job costs? They wanted $300 to do my cowl hood.
ToocoolSS Nov 3rd, 05, 08:17 AM I think I remember them saying it costs around $5000 for the sticker job. You couldnt get a paint job like for that money.

69DUECE Nov 4th, 05, 08:48 AM 3M Has done some stuff at my work....looks Good......I dont know how it would hold up on a car though.
sproosemoose Nov 7th, 05, 05:41 PM it's nice but it's a little too "busy" for my tastes.
novaderrik Nov 28th, 05, 02:30 PM aaaarrrrrgggghhhh...
70's flashback..
it looked pretty cool without the sticker, but i suppose the company that made it is an advertiser, so they kind of had to put it on there..
69Nova355 Nov 28th, 05, 11:29 PM Yeah I actually think the all solid black paint job looked better.
Shoot I think the car looked better before they cut it all up.
SHIFTY4 Dec 27th, 06, 10:51 PM i know this is an older thread, maybe i can resurrect it ??? :rolleyes: :D
i believe some of the CUP cars do their schemes that way... i know OL'DW's chrome Chevy was a big sticker... lotta work i'd imagine ;)
earthquake77 Dec 29th, 06, 09:48 PM I used to lay vinyl for a sign company. I hated laying down graphics on vans and such. It must be 10 differant kinds of suck to do a whole car.
