Ghost Flames?

I was wondering if anyone has done ghost flames on their cars. My car needs a repaint and hopefully by the end of next summer I can get it done. My idea is this, I am going to keep the original two tone, blue and grey, and maybe have ghost flames beginning at the nose and spreading to the hood and front fenders and the beginning of the doors. Anyone think this would look cool or have seen it? Because if so, I would like to see some pics if possible. I think it would look pretty tight.

TransAmman87- sounds like a cool idea. If you want to keep a silvery flame you could probably go with a white pearl. I'm sure Matt (bottledbird) could help you out with this. He did an awesome job on my car... i have a bunch of pics in the link in my sig

Those look real good TunedPort335.. thats the way I was imagining getting them I did a search and found only a couple of pics... makes me kind of excited when I finally get my car painted... is there a big price difference when getting flames like that?

Thanks man!

Price difference I'm not really sure of... but I would imagine spraying ghost flames is harder than a normal flame, since the spray pattern must be extremely even otherwise the flames will look "blotchy".

All depends on where you go and exactly what you're looking to do
