Default Who does true fire?

I also posted this in the appearence and detailing section. I was wondering who on this website does it or knows of someones who does. I have a plain black helmet I'm trying to get done in a reddish orange color.

I am in Florida and my buddy that painted mine has been compared to Mike LeValley. He has done a few helmets already just check out the website and make your own decision.
VisualFXPaint.com


He also painted our friend Joe's "World Famous" 1400+ HP Ford GT Twin Turbo that went to SEMA Last year.

Its all freehand buddy the MOST I have seen him use even resembling a stencil is a small piece of poster board cut in a circle LIKE LEVALLEY USES to put "matching edges" on both sides, otherwise its ALL freehand.

Exactly but it is used too much where it looks modeled and unatural. I used to do the same thing and still do it when i get away from it for a while. I bet he doesnt like the fire on his truck anymore. If you were to ask him, he would want to redo it because now he can do it better. That true fire technique takes practice and doing it over and over is the only way to get it to perfection. I bought the lavallee videos but they did me no good, its all in the layout. It has to look natural.
