Default What color ghost flames on a bright red SS??

What color would look good for ghost strips on my bright red SS?

Would a light grey look good? How about orange with some yellow?

Ummmm, if you do a different color flames then they wouldn't be ghost flames, they would just be flames. Ghost flames are flames painted in the same color as the car with some shade of pearl mixed into just the flame portion so that they only stand out in the sun, that's where the term Ghost comes from. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> Just info! I've seen several people here and other places misuse the term and just wanted to help you out.

Maybe a clearcoat with some slight metallic in it for very subtle 'silverish' flames.
