long story, but I paid an artist $350 NOT to flame my car...
I have tyrol blue... and if I recall our deisgn was bright red nose of car that faded into white across the hood and I believe we outlined the flames in a thin fellow...
I like the white against the blue across the hood for sure. But in the end, it was the HOOD that kept me from painting it that way. I felt with the nostrals and natural beauty of the beak... the car was ART already and I wouldn't regret NOT painting the flames on.
The flame job was $700, I gave the artist half down for materials and after I decided not to flame the car I just called him up and said keep the deposit, if I decide to do it afterwards, I'll call him and we'll start over.
I still hee haw if this was the right decision or not. Since I still have the interior to go I may repaint the whole car again with something wild to match the interior.
