Nothing special, but real flames arent that hard, i judt cut out the pattern and used a 96 cent can of white paint so i think the real deal would be bad *** but i dont have a air brush gun yet...

The pattern..

If I squint it looks like badass flames.

If not, it looks like someone busted a nut on your hood.

I think it would look great with a pro air-gun, some practice, and colored paint.

i think you need at least 6 variations on shape, it looks too much like a pattern.

Yea, the next time will be done with a aor brush and a 3 sided stencil, ill bet it looks 5x better, but for now i was REALLY wanting to get a rough idea of what it might look like.

It looks OK but with more practice it will look better. At least you stepped out of the box and tried something different unlike most people.

It kind of looks like a cheese grater..
Just get some more stencils and get rid of the OCD part of you that needs everything symmetrical and let her rip and practice.. For a first time definitely not too bad..

Nice job at a first attempt rattle can...if you try again i would fill in at the front of the hood to make like a base for the flames and i would use at least two different patterns and over lap a little but thats JMHO...good work though!!!!
