Real flames on the cowl... Not a pro job, just wanted to see what it would look like. I dont even have a real pain job so...
i just did it, i cut out the shadow i wanted, wasnt pickey i just cut it out. From there, i simply used a BS 96 cent can of paint, so for half assing it i would hate to see what i can do with real equipment, all i have is a gravity feed matco paint gun i used for the body for now.
LMK what you guys think?
The pattern...

No doubt. Here's a tip. Don't use the negative of the stencil. Use the part you cut out instead, and spray off the side of it. That will help your fire from looking so patterned.

No, it is just experimental, when i re primer the car it will be more serious and have more depth and not look so identical, ill be using a air brush too.

If you are serious about wanting to do this the correct way, do yourself a favor and get a good airbrush and get Mike Lavalle's DVD on how to do true fire from www.killerpaint.com. Then invest about $20 in some templates and you'll need a couple hundred in paint and then practice practice practice! Its not a cheap thing to do- it will probably cost you at least 500 to get all the right tools and equipment, but its worth it once you get decent- then you can do a couple side jobs with the paint you already have and make some money back. This is if you have some talent and an artistic mind and some skill. Good luck.

Thanks chevy, i will see what is a good brand air brush and see what Ebay has to offer and fgo from there. I can practice with old paint anyone has laying around as long as i have reducer and hardener to go with it. I still am having to paint my wifes 86 TA and see what happens from there.
