Booreatta Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 I am thinking about painting the old car and adding a customflame job. Has anyone ever seen a Reatta with flames and are there anyphotos of what it looks like. I saw a Olds Toronado 92 with flames and itreally looked sharp. I will try to attach a photo to this post. Any commentspro or con????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronvb Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Personaly I like flames on the 30's-early 70's cars. But to each his own!ronvb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BUICKPOWER Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 NEVER BEEN A FAN OF FLAMES ON ANY CAR BUT IT IS YOUR CAR IT SHOULD LOOK THE WAY YOU WANT SO DO WHAT YOU WANT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Reatta1 Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 DoI see fake dumps under the rocker panel on that yellow car? A little overkill on the striping for my tastes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6219_Rules Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 Just an opinion, but I think flames are a bit much. It is a matter of taste though. I have seen paint jobs that are awesome. Very flashy and attention grabbing. It is more of a rodder thing than preservation but what the heck. You can always repaint it later. I just hope you are doing it yourself because the cost is prohibitive in my book!Just my .02. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reatta4Real Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 In my opinion flames are cliche' and way over done. I think on a classic car like the Reatta flames are a mistake and then it will look like a rice car, but if thats the look you are going for thats fine. From a designers standpoint I think some pin striping in the right places would look good. I often see the same graphics, including flames, on a lot of cars. I would go with custom vinal graphics. Most places can cut custom vinal graphics easily, you or they whould just have to take the extra time to draw it on whatever computer program they use. Cheaper, and they can always be taken off.
