Man usually if you go with a gost flame it usually consist of pearls on black. You can make a really light silver and make it a greyish tint if thats what you want but on black i have always just used pearl and sprayed very lightly. I mainly just paint motorcycles but its the same concept. Using grey will make it stand our more and it wont be a ghost flame unless he over-reduces it and then it will just look like small sparkles.

Extremely hard to see in pictures, but here ya go.....It's from a Chevy Vega I painted a little while ago. It's a red pearl flame.









Note: I painted the car, but only taped off the flames, all the flame painting was done by my paint teacher.

The vega will be a bad ride when it is done. Ghost flames on any car when done right looks good.

Default Vega lover! Thanx for the pics.

I like the way Vegas looked, and that one looks like it's going to be nice. Hope I'm not going too far OT, but what's the plan for the Vega? Engine, interior, etc.
