Question Question About True Fire Paint Job (Pics if you got 'em)

Just curious, I have a graphic idea for my TA, but not sure how it will look... has anyone ever seen True Fire paint techniques in non-traditional colors (i.e. silver, blue and purple hues)? If so, how do they look? Flames would look great on my new WS9 hood, but my body color wouldn't fit well with the red/yellow/orange scheme. I have a Chameleon Teal w/Silver overlays, and want to keep the silver theme running in my appearance mods (I'm also re-doing the interior with accents of the exterior's colors). I'm just starting, but when I'm done, I want to make sure there won't be another TA vert around here like mine! Any photos that would show alternative coloring would be greatly appreciated (even if not on F-bodys)! Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!!!!

Yeah that's what I'm talking about... That looks great! Anyone else got some other color shemes, post 'em! That blue flame pretty much sinched it though... a little alteration on the color, and that's the look I wanted. Thanks for the site!

Stryker14, I've got the Chameleon Teal paint job on my 2000 TA vert... if I was going to keep the silver on the nosebird, door panels, and rear fillers, what other colors do you think I should incorporate into the flamework? (the teal colorshifts from green to purplish-blue at the right angle of lighting) Do you think I should keep those same colors in the flames?

Its hard to say what would look good against a chameleon paint job especially when you are trying to achive the effect of true fire. you might be able to spray some silver, green, and purple pearls in the layout of true fire but it would only be a ghosted effect. Problem with painting true fire on a light background is the kandy colors have to be placed in just the right place or it could look weird. let me see what images i can dig up and get you going in the right direction.
