    Custom Paint Ideas

    So I'm going to be repainting the Tahoe soon. I'm going back with the stock gray, but in talking to the painter last night, he offered to do some custom work at a great price to showcase some of his work.
    I originally planned to just get rid of the moldings and just make it a really clean looking ride, but this has me thinking since it's a deal that would be hard to pass up. He suggested going with some ghost flames, but I'm not sure if I want to have ghost flames on my DD or not. I've pondered some kind of a hockey stripe like the Chargers or a single black stripe down the hood and rear, possibly with ghost flames on it.
    I'm all for custom, but I'm not sure if I want to go this flashy with my DD or to just save it for my truck. Any suggestions? If you have pictures, send them my way. Thanks guys!

    If he's ghosting with almost the same color paint then it will be cool. Just don't do it if you plan on selling it in the near future. Not everyone likes custom paint/flames/stripes.

    I don't plan on selling it anytime soon, especially with it about to look near new with a paint job and what not. But it still concerns me a bit when I do go to get rid of it a few years down the road. That's why I've considered something a little more subtle in a stripe.

    I would not stripe it. I'd do ghost flames like 04chase has on silveradoss.com
    Thats really kool

    Any chance you could post a picture? I tried to go over there to check it out, but I have to join the forum to look at profiles. If I need to I can do that though.

    Gotcha. Yeah, I've seen that truck before. Looks pretty sweet.
