Depends on how high of quality you want. You can go from this ad below to over $10,000. I would say $3-4k would get you a quality job.

Infidel and Kandgo are right on the money----As far as flames on a black base, depends on the color combo you are looking for. Ultimately...anything custom is going to run some larger $$$$$$, as you are paying for the TIME of laying out any custom work, and several steps involved.

PM me if you really want to nail down some estimated times.

Rick, they're still around. Remember when Earl himself used to say, "I'll paint any car for $29.95!"
I had them do the deluxe $99 job on my Toyota PU beater, took them three times to get it right, running paint everywhere. What cracked me up was rather than tape off the window molding they had a guy brush painting the overspray on the rubber black.
You get what you pay for.

It has been years since they were here in Okla. there is still the sign on a old building downtown that I see from time to time, Yea I remeber his TV ads. from a long time ago, I also had a ole buddy back in high school use them and he was sick when he went to get his truck and even sicker when he showed it to all of us guys in the shop class, that is remarkable that they are still around. Goodluck,,,Rick
