I want to get a paint job like this, but I've never seen one done. Does anyone know if they can do this, and how much it would be at a local paint shop?

The car is already yellow, it would just need the orange painted onto it. I was thinking they could paint the back orange and airbrush the fade in?

its just a simple fade, any decent paint shop should be able to do that.

yeah some people get jealous as $hit. But I think you should go for it anyway and just be super careful where you park. that stang in the pic looks pretty sweet.

That's my car, I just photoshopped the paintjob on. And yeah, my old Mustang got keyed when I was 2 hours from home and nobody I know could have been out there.

That paint job is nothing. I think anyone who has painted for a few years can pull that off.

Good photo shop. I think it would look awesome but if it's your daily drive don't waste your money on an expensive paint job because you will be pissed if you get rock chips and stuff like that. Trust me i've had my whole car repainted and the whole front end is full of rock chips from driving on the highway and my car has been hit twice in a parking lot. It sucks!! Now i need to get the whole thing re done again.
