Well, i just did it, i cut out the shadow i wanted, wasnt pickey i just cut it out. From there, i simply used a BS 96 cent can of paint, so for half assing it i would hate to see what i can do with real equipment, all i have is a gravity feed matco paint gun i used for the body for now.

LMK what you guys think?




The pattern

that turned out really great ZONE's, keep up the good work

For half-assin' it, that came out pretty damn good. Should have at least made the flame template a little more flame like but regardless, that looks good.

Thanks guys, i like it, i will re do it when i reprimer the car and use a better template and air brush i hope, but ijust really thought it would look good

for a first attempt it looks alright, but laying out some real flame shapes with pinstriping and then shadowing with a template would have been over the top. this looks more like raindrops that were painted around them.

I see what your saeing, i think it looks more like smoke really, with the color being white.

Not bad who made your hood?

Not bad, just too uniform in size, to me. Maybe if you cut a larger pattern piece, so you could turn it for different sizes and curves, then you could mix it up good.

But not a bad job!

can't say I care for it ..... But then again I don't like flames at all on any car!!!!

Thanks guys, yea, flames arent for everyone.

Liberty fiberglass, it is a knock off of a harwood i think,,,

Cool ima have to check them out and for the record im all for flames on cars as long as they aint real lol

kinda reminded me of ghost flames kinda with it behing a smoky white on the black hood.
i think it looks not to bad
i think sould get a sheet of plywood or a big piece of cardboard and try out different pattern and try it out on the cardboard to see if its what you like or not.

just a thought

I think it came out looking great for some rattle can and hand cut stencil, great job!

Thanks tech.

LOL, you should see my garage walls!!!LOL

looks good....but i kinda lost my taste for flames on cars when a friend of mine set his 67 stang on fire...twice...

haha should take a photo of your garage walls :P
im acturally thinking of making adding some flames to my car.
ill look up some flame patterns on the internet.

Check out the internet for airbrush flame templates, just copy there design and i think it would turn out really good, i think the way it looks right now is too "patterned" and uniform kinda looks weird.

maybe get afew patterns going. so it all will look totally different so they all dont look the same.

i guess you can always draw out the flames on the hood with a marker and tape everything around it and what not. but i dont have a steady hand and im not an artist so i cant do that

ill take a look at some air brush patterns.

i wish i had flames like this on my car

that is an AWFUL lot of detail on that gas can, haha. Looks great though, ive got the standard "green" color camaro for the RS, but i had surface rust on it when i got it, so i sanded her down and now its primer gray! sexy innit ^ ^

big plans ahead though!

i wish i was an artist and can use a air brush.

HAH, just found out a good friend of mine has a air brush.....now to find a small amount of paint.

OK, i darkened them up a little playing around, i like it better this way.
