Default The Flames are ON!!!
So after taking all of your responses to my previous post into consideration I finally painted it. I really had no idea what color to spray it, my orginal intension was to spray ghost flames on it but boy am i glad i grew a set and went with something different. And well ...... I fell in love. Something different you may not see everyday

Spraying pearl white

Accenting tips

Clearing the car

The end result

flames

flames 2

flames 3

Man, those look good.

I take it you run some kind of paint shop. How much would something like that cost us regular folk?

well i work at a paint shop and taped them up myself so.. it didnt cost much for me. Normally i would said close to 2k. If anyone is in the New Jersey region I would tape up some flames for you for pretty cheap. That is the most expensive part of the job. Spraying it is pretty easy and inexpensive. Thanks for the comments!!
