eric@thompsonracing.us Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 We painted our test mule flat black two years ago after rebodying it. Figuring it was going to get it's *** beat during R&D, we didn't want to go with a fancy paint job. After the last test session, we are confident the car will make the transfer and not shake the tires (as often!). Over the weekend, the guys from The Shop came and picked up our car. Below is the rendoring of the finished product. We have made a few slight changes, but the outcome should be close! If you haven't heard of The Shop, they are the go-to guys for insane ProMod paint jobs. Keep an eye on our site for updates: www.thompsonracing.us To get a feel for some of their work, check out their site: Banshie Designs and House of Powder Join forces to bring you THE SHOP Gonna have to go to their site to see pics full size. <!-- / message --><!-- End Edit By Geo --> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssbusdrvr Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 That is going to look badazz! With a scheme that complex is that paint or a wrap? Wishing you all a Happy and successful 2012! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiterp199 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Awesome. I sure hope that is a wrap I could not imagine actually painting that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric@thompsonracing.us Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 It's all paint, no wrap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric@thompsonracing.us Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 Actually, wrap is heavy! The Shop does a white base coat and there is zero overlap of colors, so the paint is as thin as possible. This car has a powdercoated chassis. The new car has a bare chassis and it shaved 40lbs!

whiterp199 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Wow. I never would have expected paint. That is pretty awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFairbanks Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 That is going to be quite the paint job. Looks awesome. I can't imagine how many man hours goes into painting something of that caliber. Is there more than one guy that does the painting? Just one question? Are you sure your going to want to race that thing after getting it painted like that??? The paint job alone looks like a winner. Thanks for sharing and good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
