A custom blue flame paint job was a bold way to give a 2006 Chevy truck a second life and showcase the owner's personality on the road. Liles Performance & Auto Body in Webb City, Missouri, turned a hard‑working crew cab into a rolling tribute to America's Old Glory.
Paint Concept and Inspiration
For this project, the owner wanted a patriotic theme with a twist—bright blue flames outlined in white, layered over a deep red base, echoing the colors of the American Flag. The goal was to keep the truck ready for daily use while turning it into a one‑of‑a‑kind head‑turner every time it rolled through town.
Transforming a 2006 crew cab
The starting point was a 2006 Chevy truck crew cab with plenty of life left in the drivetrain, but tired factory paint. Instead of trading it in, the owner chose to invest in a fresh look that would match the truck’s strong running condition and heavy‑duty flatbed setup.
Designing the blue flame layout
Our technicians laid out the blue flame graphics so they flow from the front of the hood, across the fenders, and down the doors. This placement lets the red, white, and blue color scheme stretch the full length of the 2006 Chevy truck, tying together the cab and flatbed for a cohesive custom look.
Prep and paint job process
A long‑lasting custom finish always starts with meticulous prep work. At Liles Performance & Auto Body, that includes:
- Careful inspection and repair of dings, rust, and body damage
- Sanding and priming to create a smooth, even surface
- Masking off glass, trim, and hardware for clean lines
- Applying base color, flames, and clear coat in controlled layers
Each step is designed to help the paint job resist chips, fading, and everyday wear on a working Chevy truck.
Results and Benefits of a Custom Paint Job
The finished truck now wears a vivid red body, bold blue flame graphics, and subtle American Flag touches that stand out at any stoplight. Beyond the visual impact, a high‑quality custom paint project can help protect the body panels, extend the life of a well‑maintained 2006 Chevy truck, and make owners proud to keep driving the Chevy brand they already know and trust.
