How is the best way to go about ghost flames? What i want is for the front of my truck to be the same as it is but have ghost flames slowly appear and disapper all down the truck

Ow yea now your talking I myself had a friend do mine you can,t see them in the pic I posted but they are their the were done in a pearl with a touch of the garnet red you really got to be up close to see them or if the sun hit them just right

Thats what i want, i have always been crazy for them ever since i was like 3

Treekiller...send some of that procrastination my way ha ha! Eventually i'm going to repaint my Trans Am...I'm planning to do a custom hood bird that's a ghost and have the wings burn right down the fenders...i'm wondering if there's a program you used to play with My61's truck pic so that i could try playin with designs for my hood?

Dude Treekiller that is freakin awesome, thanks man, now i know what it will look like and i like it

I,ve got to get that program treekiller were did you get it

It is probably photoshop unless it's that program that Toad made... If it is photoshop, then can you explain to me some steps on how you did that tree? Thanks in advance if you can.

Sure would be nice to have that program!

MY 61 Try laying out your flames, Dust on some pearl . Light around the edges then heavy in the tips Shoot ya a small test panel to decide how it will look first. This is just one way of doing it. Good luck.

Ok I have a question on ghost flames but thought I might as well post it on this thread even though it's old but anyways. My ghost flames I wan't like this 51 Merc but with a gloss black base coat and then metallic blue (dark metallic blue and not a purple looking blue like most you may see) flames like this merc here... What I need to know is... Do I just paint the entire car gloss black and before I throw a clear over the gloss black I do the outline look like that with something like an air brush and then clear it? I dont' know what to do with the front like the grill. I don't know if I should do the grill and bumper chrome, black or the blue. What I was going to do was just do a plain flame job with the front end all blue like the grill and all and then just do the flames a solid blue instead of the outline ghost look like that....
Any ideas guys? Also any pictures of a front end of a flame job like the Merc here?
Thanks a lot!

Oh sorry that is a 50 Mercury not a 51.
Sorry I didn't just edit that post either but it won't load to the edit page so I made another post....

FMX, although I don't know about the flame prosess, I can suggest about the grill and bumper, don't flame the grille, what you might want to do is somthing I did to my hood ornaments and emblems, I wanted somthing cheap to refinish the ornament's with because they had been primered b4 and the chrome was badly pitted. I took some dupli color chrome spraypaint and some duplie color clear and primer, steel wolled the surface primer smooth and feather edged the flakes by doing so also, built the surface up with 4 coats of primer then used the chrome, 2 coats of chrome then 3 coats of clear, unlike I wanted, it does not keep the chrome luster, it makes it even better, it gives it more of a cool looking metallic light grey and looks nothing like chrome, it will look good agens't the dark purple I picked out for the car, you can test to see what it will look like on any metal for less than 10 bucks, I would post a pic of 1 of the ornaments but it just looks str8 grey in the pics.
