Personally I think first two are ugly as hell and I'm not crazy about the others either.
I might like the heritage stripes, but the flames are ugly. JMO though.

I think the last pic (black with red stripes) looks the best out of the four.

The black with red stripes is the best one! I would recommend using the heritage style stripes if you do them. What ever you do, make sure you PAY someone to lay out your flames for you if thats the route you go! The flames you have shown are no good.

Consider doing ghost flames if flames are what you want, and please pay someone to do them it's an art that takes alot of practice.
I think the heritage stripes would be better though

I would say if you are going to use two color paint this would look a whole lot better.

Nope. Stripes are too wide, and as long as you make the flames more realistic. I'd say go 2 tone instead of stripes or flames but that seems to be what you want. If you don't have much experience, take it to a pro.
