Default Which paint job??

Trying to decide between these 3. The first is a little cheaper. $1300. The second is $1400. The 3rd is awesome but pricey $2500.

I like 1 the best maybe have the flames alittle ghosted....the 2nd one reminds me of car colors of the 80's and busy, the 3rd is cool, I like the real fire paint but, I am into more simple paint jobs.

I agree with HDWG. I like the first one better. I think the bottom one looks good, but not my style. I don't like the middle one at all. I am a simple guy, and my wife reminds me of that all the time. I am into subtle grahpics, if any at all.

Out of those three, I pick #1. That's the closest to old school out of the choices. "Old school is da siht!"

I agree. No choice - Number 1 is it.

Now that I hear your comments I think you are right. Maybe I will stick to #1. Might do yellow or orange though. Yellow would stand out more. What do ya think on black??

Great answer, and correct too............but beings he asked can't go wrong with black. Now that I think about it, you can't go wrong with any colors YOU like.
