i think the orange on orange in your second picture would look the best... it wouldnt take away from the bird on the hood. what kind of purple would you use? do you have any pics with it?

my favorite of those would be the blue with red flames..... looks sweet. i also like the previous one i stated...the orange on orange. either one would be sweet... but if u do the blue, do only blue with red; those dark flames look kinda strange
very nice.. as for your question:
questions/
1/ when i put the clear on will my pearl orange be more reflective, its not as pearly as i thought, is that just the dark orange color, i used the white basecoat they recomened to bring out the color, more,
when you put the clear coat on it should definitely be more shiny. then if you want it even more shiny you could buff it, or even wet sand and buff it. that would really bring it out.
2/ has anyone used house of color paints, - see this post,
i never used it. my dad usually gets msd or some **** like that from napa. but as long as that house of paint stuff is actual car paint and not like wood paint or something like that i'm sure it will work good.

I think that orange, green, and purple would be hot!
I know quite a bit about paint, so if you have any questions you can get in touch with me on aol, or my email addy is aud05@hotmail.com
I really like the one with the dark orange/red and pearl orange flames, and its really not that hard to do, instead of painting the whole flame you just outline the edges.
I think it would be awesome if you painted the whole car, a dark orange/red color, then did the pearl flames, and do the bird the same way as the flames but in purple, and have the flames go through the bird.
If you want your car to be really bright, i suggest using HOK kandys, with a silver or white basecoat, they also have neon colors, but they fade quick.
The problem with the pearl, you might not want to mix the pearl with whatever color paint you have, paint it some color first, then pearl, or mix it in the clear.

That's alot of overspray on that hood
That purple pasion effect really does look awesome though with the flames, awesome job keep it up.
