im likein the flames… but the red(pink) going up to the hoodscoop seems out of place… maybe better once its all buffed and has the plastic on the scoop.

hell of a job though.

you guys are good, the two colors i chose look opposite in diff light, when you look at the hood and side of the car from the same point, the flames on the side will look like the color they are not on the hood , and vise versa… thats why i did the single scallop thing on the side, it is gonna look crazy trust me

looks good the only thing is the flames are not symetrical, sp, most of the ones you see are done using the paper chaulk bag method , i did my father in laws 79 vette against my will, i will see if i can find pics to post, Are you going to edge them with pin strips or just leave tham as is when the tape comes off?

i color sand the base to keep down the ridge but i usually leave them without the pinstripe, unless it is an old school sceme, i dont think the pinstripe is for the new age thing, with this car i wanted to try and give it a evil pissed kinda look… and i never do symetrical flames, i think they are to “production” looking. I just shoot from the hip and start masking with the fine line…

shooting from the hip takes a lot of skill, thats kinda what i did here but i need more practice my lines are a little sketchy, that stang looks real good , like i said 79 vette, that i did for free cause its my father in law and he wanted flames, still needs striped to fix it up but, i dont think its too bad for a first time flame job sorry for crappy cell pic
