About 6 months back Eastwood Co. came out with a real fire setup like this. I really like the real fire over the old style flames. So much more depth and so on. East wood has the stencils and DVD's , and of course all of the paint and air brushes, etc.

well im still working on the fire, got some new sheild for fire from lavelle there real cool, lots of great shapes... heck ive even made 100.00 on mail boxes (2) not bad for a 24.00 investment

i got the green figured out today.. next i will do the blue... green was easy its only two colors and one candy the blue has more steps and colors so later this week is start the blue experiments..

i think the set eastwood does is using auto air piant. auto air is a water based so its safe to shoot but it requires heat set dries slow and tends to run alot. and there transparent are not that clear. i like using the uros better hok gives a deaper range of colors and more option on customizing to your taste.

Hey uh, howabout you stop being so good at that


Big stupid jerk I wish I could do that

no but seriously thats some mad skill you got

 

Oh yeah, Like......where are all these mailboxes coming from? LOL did you go buy like 20 of them? Or did you steal them

 

i buy em 2 - 3 at a time..... sold 3 so far.. pays for supplies that way...

amazing man, how do you plan on encorperating the flames onto the blue car?

 

Looks pretty dang good man.

Personally seems a bit too busy for my taste, but definitely not bad for some of your first attempts.

A buddy of mine (the one whose WS6 hood was posted earlier in this thread) has been doing these flames like crazy for nearly a year now. I really like how his style creates some serious depth and keeps the lines nice and simple. He somehow uses the kandies to tint it back and give it a ton of highlights. You should really check out his work on the website I built for him recently. Might pick up some tips from checking out his style. Always good to look around and see what others are doing with this amazing style. Check out stryker-paint.com for galleries of his work.

I think he might even be a member here...dunno. He has a pretty nice 3rd Gen himself. Cardomain site for his 3rd Gen> http://www.cardomain.com/ride/482938/2

Here are a few samples of his work. Hope you like!

 

I like the blue man

Sweet work...

Any update on the blue?
I've wanted real blue flames on the front of the Talon for a couple years now, but I won't waste the money or someone's talent since it's a daily driver and sees more than it's share of rocks and bugs. Maybe if it ever retires to "fun car only" status, which is possible.

I plan on painting the Camaro black eventually, and I think a set of real blue flame racing stripes or something along those lines would look amazing. That one isn't a daily driver.

 

^^^ anything new to show off?

 

jeff some of the stuff you do is amazing...where are you located in mass?

 

wow well its been a while since ive been on here. and here is an old post any way still painting flames moved on to motorcycles much better profit margins. i also have another truck to do and a couple cars when they are ready. ive been doing two to three bikes a week part time after my full time or maybe its two full times. no idea but its alot of fun. here is a recent one.

im in westfield mass

 

its a far cry from those first few mail boxes that i thought were pretty good. my stuff keeps getting better n better, now im starting to do other graohics pin ups and a new bike for a guy in florida is getting a 911 tribute, im stoked for that one its going to be fun..... here is some blue fire, the camaor is getting it in the spring to cold right now to be bothered with a big job,

 

hey Scope1313 your buddy Brett just did the covers for my 05 gto. he did a sick job. jeff your work still awazes me, from the first set of flames you posted up here too the green and blue those look sick.
