I know this may sound weird but I would try the Mystichrome paint from the 04 Cobra's, that is if it fits within the budget.

the only thing with those mystic colors is they cost like 300 to 400 a quart. i did a honda prelude and just the paint alone was 1200 not counting sealer, primer(if needed), clear and all the other materials. and that was just to do the outside, not the jams or engine bay or anything.

I got a couple of bottles of ppg harlequin I will sell. One is green to purple the other is cyan to purple. Each bottle is 6 oz, once you step on it with the binder at a 1 to 5 ratio you got 36 oz and then reduce it one to one and you come out with 72 oz of sprayable material. It cost anywhere from 250-300 at the paint store plus tax, I want 175 shipped per bottle.

dude some of the firehawks have chameleon paint from the factory. i dont think its 2 rice considering that fact and the fact that some mustangs have factory chameleon colors and 1994 and 1995 camaros have a mystic teal/blue chameleon color aswell. just choose for flame color carefulley.

hell yeah. i did not know that so thanks. And the flames are going to be ghost flames what u do is you have to have a black coat undert the chameleon paint and then spray the flames with a white coat to be lighter and reflect in the sun

theres so many ways to do it im not even gunna list um. i think a really sick paint job would be an all black car, white flames(but like faded so they blend perfect) then have the bird put in there. use a lot of flames to hide the bird. might be a good idea to get a good airbrush artist to go awesome flame work!

If your talking about putting white under the kamelion for the flame part that will look like complete ****. The colors are meant to be spray over dark bases preferably black, but I have used blue, orange, maroon etc. Anything light will leave you with a pastel looking color that barely flips. Spray a small test panel first and check it out.

I think that would look nice. I also like the 2 tone trans Ams. A guy that I usually see at some car shows has a orange/silver T/A WS6. Heres a picture I took of it. I like the chameleon paint jobs, but I like the 2 tones a lot more.
