Ghost flames on a black formula?

What do you think. Will light ghost flames look good on a jet-black 88 formula? Furthermore, does anyone have pics of ghost flames on a 3rd gen firebird? Thanks in advance guys. You guys are awesome.

You cant really see ghost flames in pictures. They will work really well on black. Most pearls work on black really well.

I am a huge fan of ghost flames. I am thinking of getting dark flames(maybe dark grey ghost flames)on my red camaro. I say go for it, just get them. they will look good and if people dont like them then screw them. trust me it will look awesome
good luck

They're flames done in a pearl coat so they can't always bee seen, hence the term ghost flames. The guy that's painting my car right now has another way of doing it. He has a light blue 89 firechicken and put on flames in a slightly darker shade of blue. It really makes you look twice. I'm thinking of having him put on ghost flames with a silver pearl on top of the metallic navy blue after I get a fiberglass hood. He said it only took him about 3 hours to prep his and tape it off and they look awesome.
