Just thought I'd let you know, I'm using your work as an example for my big forearm tattoo. I'm going to put my guy to the test and see if he can do the "true fire" flames. I'm pumped about it. Might be a while, but I'll shoot you some pics. Another great job, by the way.

Default paint job?

So how much would you paint that on either a C5 Vette, or Red T/A and you would need to paint it black? Pm me a quote, oh yeah, your fire job looks like a million dollars, I hope it doesn't cost that though, lol.

WOW - Great talent indeed! Keep up the good work! I noticed the WS6 in the background too and saw the LS6 intake you did as well.

Good thread, thought I'd bring it back up.

Hey Stryker, what is your opinion on black TA's that have the true fire on the hood. Do they need the fire on the side to finish it off or not?

I want to get true fire "stripes" on my Raptor hood as well as smoothing out the front plate cover and rear filler panel and then doing a little flaming bird on each. Maybe even filling in the PONTIAC logo on the rear bumper cover and doing a flaming version of TRANS AM. Plus the flames on the side coming from the front fender wells.

Do you think that is overkill? I might even continue the flame "stripes" onto the top of the rear wing. I'm not going to do the roof. That's a lot of flames, so I'm worried it will be too much.

Looks really good. The guy who did the stripes on my car does true flames too. He sells the **** out of the mailboxes he does, he'd been experimenting with different colors here lately. I'd just like to have half the talent you guys have.
