Default Firebird on Fire

I've seen on several differant T.V. shows a guy that can paint very realistic looking flames. He typically spends 20-40 hours just using a little air brush. but the flames look very real. I was wandering if anybody has seen a hood vynil or if somebody has had this done on they're car. I tried google but didn't have much luck. please post pics, thanks.

I got a quote from them to do my racecar helmet and they said the starting price is $1000.00+
So i am sure it won't be cheap.

F that, this guy apparently has world class skills and celebrities as a user base. If the demand for his talent costs that much then good for him.
