Default Intake painted (True Fire)

Well I painted an intake for a member on the board and wanted to let some of you guys check it out. This was the most challenging to paint true fire on because of all the contours but it came out pretty good. get some pics out in the sun after it has time to dry a bit.

Default Hey stryker14;

Holy cannoli!

What an excellent job. Congrats. Is this your regular job, or just a hobby - please excuse my ignorance.

Looks really good. I like the pic from behind the most - IMHO, the base of the flame may be too wide or too yellow for my taste, but that is just preference, and depends on the surrounding look/ lighting. Just some ideas for the future, not intended to take away from the props for a pretty pimp job !

Yeah thats the nice thing about these flames. I can tweak them any way i want. Make them thick or thin,Little more yellow here or more redish orange. depends on what the customer wants in a final product.

Damn that looks great!!! What would you charge for that? I may have you paint my FAST intake if the price is right.

God I love the real fire so much... Props on the work, I look at tons of that stuff, and you have top notch skill with it. I was all geared up to jump into that, but I haven't been able to paint in a few months due to school and work

Excellent work man, that stuff really takes an imagination to make it work right.

Hey guys, that's my intake! Jelous? haha. w00t! that looks so ******* good!

stryker: man, what can I say, I absolutely love it 1000000%. I could not have asked for better. I appreciate all the hard work you put into this, I'd be willing to bet you get some sales off this one.

For the record it is not installed on my car, YET. I'm supposed to have a 408 to put this on but with the whole ape situation, who knows.

Just so you know this intake will have my TNT F4 kit on it, it's a damn shame too. That thing looks so ****** sick!

Thanks again man!!!!!
-Steve
