While walking through the grove at Famoso Raceway in Bakersfield last Friday during the rain, BangShifter Randal Burns and I spotted the most amazingly painted 1954 Chevy I have ever seen…and its a driver. There was no one around the car when we were drooling on it so I don’t have a lot in the way of details, but what I do have is a bunch of photos featuring the jaw dropping paint job on the car. We’ve all seen amazing paint on cars that get delivered to the show and then get loaded into a trailer and are transported to the next one, but this car is driven and was sitting outside in the rain. On some level I didn’t like that and on another I loved it.
To whoever owns this thing: Right on! Thanks for remembering that your car is not water soluble.
To whoever painted this thing: You are hero levels of awesome.
Your mileage may vary with opinions regarding this paint job, but looking at it from the standpoint of quality along the work is unassailable.

What a flash back to the early 70’s reminds of they took a 59 cad two door huge fins shot the car with slow drying clear parked under spot lights at night let the totally cover up with bugs then recleared ……or during the vow craze there was a company that would elecocharge the body and aply a flocking material so the car was fuzzy….
In the mid 70’s my dad took me to a World Of Wheels show in St.Louis. I remember seeing a Barris Batmobile that was all fuzzy. Signs said it was one used in the movie. Have never been able to find any pictures on the web of it, or any info.
Wow.
I lived in San Jose CA in the ’70’s. There was a thriving low-rider car culture there at that time.
The paint jobs on some of those cars was just way beyond anything which I have seen since.
I have seen that car before at some of the local shows here in so cal. I love all of the different colored pnaels and the flames … it just looks right topped off with the supremes
Wow! that’s a masterpiece! I love the car and its a drive!
The car is featured as the cover shot on the Los Banditos club’s Facebook page (I read the letters on the trunk). Bet you can get more info there.
Sorry, Loco Banditos is the name of the club. I have fat fingers…
