Default Ghost flame pictures wanted

As are most of us, winter has me thinking about next projects. One that I'd like to do in the not too distant future is paint. How about posting some C3's with ghost flames?

It's hard to see ghost flames in pictures...
How about these... Shaded and ghosted flames...

Big G, That is really nice. I would love to do ghost flames on my '81 but as you can see from my public profile I have a beastly beige. It is a difficult color to come up with an idea for.

Na.....We would take your beige color and add some pearl to the mix. Paint the ghost flames with this and fade it out. We do it this way for any color, from white to black. One C-4 we did last year was a charcoal with ghost flames. The sun had to be out for you to see them. Customer wanted subtle, he got subtle.....lol
