Not a fan of flames on a Vette...especially ghosties. The curves of the car are flamboyant enough. Anything flashy (flames, chromalusion, etc.) in the paint tends to look trashy/tacky to me. I like a nice simple metallic.

The veh is supper white (code 40). the paint shop who does my work suggest reflective peral white. wouldnt see it in sunlight, but in low light, cross angle, or direct light would reflect light misted silver flames.

Are we supposed to discuss ghost flames, or the fact that you have an 81 vert?
I think both are cool. mainly the vert. Ghost flames can be cool if done right. I like em when you have to look for them.

I have them under the hood and in the door jambs along with shaded flames. Standing behind the car with the hood raised, it looks like the engine is in flames. People don't really notice the ghost flames until they step up to the front and actually see the hood from a few feet away.
