True Fire? **** is fake lookin and over done!

The bird on the top of the hood looks really good tho. i gotta give the person who did it that much.

 

The only thing that car needs is the plate to read "Hulk-a-Maniac"! Brother! LOL~!!!!!!

 

i like the idea, i was going to try and get a design i liked for true fire with the traditional bird on the hood, but decided i could spend my money elsewhere... the true fire itsn't that realistic. i think it would look better if the bird was smaller... at least the wings and such. but hey it stands out and its something different... i would drive it

 

I agree, shouldn't have done the WHOLE hood like that.

 

heh. i think it looks pretty good. you apparently could do better im assuming.....

 

See people think that the painter laid down the black to make the true fire look better on a grey car, it stands out and doesnt look like it is suppose to be there but what he was trying to accomplish was a Guyton inspired smoke effect.
Overdone? Maybe...but at least he tried and it came out decent.

Below is a true fire smoke effect Guyton paint job!




Im trying true fire this spring and summer on a test red hood and see how it comes out with and without the smoke effect.

 

....
HOT DAMN...^^^ that looks CRAAAAZZZZZYYYYY!!!! its CRAZY LOUD...looks the car is actually on fire...not like the car looks badass fast...but like it broke down and is on fire lol i respect the work for sure...no doubt there...that had to take FFOREVER...kinda like the smoke effect behind the fire...never seen that done before

 

im a fan of mickey harris flames

 

Have you tried looking in any other sections? A bit much but my thoughts.

 

i think it looks SICK>...


not going to see that everyday......

 

There was a vert on ebay about 8-10 months ago that had a way better true flame job on it, but that doesn't look bad, I sure as hell couldn't do anything like that. I just don't like those wheels.

 

Those are the painters version of true fire that was created by a friend of mine at Killer Paint in Washington. Mike sells videos of how to paint the true fire and now there are alot of painters trying their own spin on it. Some with less then desired results and some with fairly good versions. Check out mike's web site to see how their suppose to look. killerpaint.com I've had Mike paint a few things for me and he never disapoints.

 

you live here too? Small world

 

from what i was taught, to paint the true fire, you have to have a black background, that's why there is the black paint behind the flames, on the pewter car... otherwise you won't get the definition in the flames and the layered look.
those flames, to me, look a little too fake. the guy i learned from is the best guy i've seen at really making the flames look real and having them "pop" out at you. i'll try to get some pictures of the race car that they are building at my old school where i took autobody. it is awesome. pictures are definitely better than me trying to describe it, so i'll try to get some soon and put them in here.

here's a picture of the miniature hood that i painted - with help:



the pictures look a little fuzzy because of my camera... not the paint job

 

Sick! ^^^

wanna come paint my car?

 

not a huge fan of the paint job myself looks too fake i do respect the talent one must have possessed to do that though

 

THat transam came out bad ***. but little on the fake side but still one bad *** car.

 

haha! that's the one and only thing i've painted in true fire... i even have a buddy who wants me to paint his bike in true fire... but i don't wanna paint anything until i've had a whole lot more practice. but as of yet i don't have a place to paint, but i'm hoping to build a paint booth in my barn here soon so i can paint some stuff.

 

you will be a rich man when the time comes!

 

i hope lol

those candies that are used for the real fire - whether it's the orange/red/yellow fire, or blue, or green, or whatever - are EXPENSIVE!!! oh my goodness. i don't remember costs, but i do remember them costing an exhorbitant amount of money.

the guy that taught our class told us a story about how he went up to seattle to paint true fire on the hood (and maybe fenders, i don't remember) of a Corvette... the car was already prepped and sitting in the booth. all he did was come in and paint the real fire - he didn't even apply the clearcoat... i think he said it took maybe an hour or two, and he got paid $5,000!
