No it didn't catch fire and no I didn't get the whole thing on video. Sorry.

Anyway, this older man said he would like to paint my car this weekend. When I asked why he said he used to paint cars professionally in the 60s and 70s and he just felt like doing it to make sure he was still up to par. So he wants to paint really awesome flames and stuff on my car. I say hell yes, seeing as the paint on my car is totally non existent. What do you guys think? Maybe a big mural on the hood of a sword going through a bunch of skulls or something just totally ridiculous and probably really offensive? Maybe have him paint Tara Patrick spread eagle on the hood?

Not only is it free, this guy used to do it for show cars and stuff back in the day. Also, have you seen my paint? Anything that professionally done would be leaps and bounds better than it is now. I can always re-rattle can it. Its just rustoleum black that was poorly applied right now.

It is really old paint. Actually its a really old repaint. The fenders are okay, so no flames there, just going to take him my hood and let him go to town on it.

This is purely for comic value. I can have him paint anything, so if you have any suggestions, please shoot. The car is getting repainted black as soon as I get the money. I mean, its free and my other friend is supplying the paint. I can't lose here.

Maybe 3-5 long midnight blue flames with white hot tips flying back, rake style with a blue mushroom cloud painted on the hood. Ok maybe Tara Patrick spread eagle on the hood would be a better idea.
