Quite a paintjob. Too bad it doesn't come like that from the factory.

I watch too. enybody else notice on the hot wheels creation they used a M112 blower on it? but if you watched carefully it was ALL for looks, nice chromed blower and isn't even blowing.

Anyways, Chip Foose is a good guy, he can work on my car anytime.

I'd like to see someone get permission from Chip Foose to copy that paint onto one of our cars.

Without a doubt. But the shows wouldn't be as exciting if they showed all that. Kinda like "Trading Spaces", and how the carpenter has a whole crew you never see, and the entire production crew has to pitch in to finish painting the walls right before the room is revealed.
