Ghost Flames on C4
I am thinking of Ghost flaming my Vette, does anyone have any pics of a C4 with flames so i can get an idea of what they would look like? Also not sure if I should go with darker silver or lighter silver, what does everyone think?
Guess in the end if it don't look good, it'll be back to sanding, but maybe worth a try!!!

That sounds awesome. I would go with the lighter silver flames. That way they are truly ghost flames. The darker ones may stand out more than you want. If you do it, definitely share pictures!

I would ove to see pics of ghost flames on a C4 or flames of anykind for that matter. I would like to see how people have over come the the huge front wheel well. The best way i have seen so far for regular flames is to paint the front of the car one color and the back of the car another and then do the flames on the doors.

I like ghost flames myself, but haven't found anyone near me that is good at it. My idea is to have the flames originate at the gills and flow over the back wheel well. Kind of the look of an old P-40 fighter.

Though that effect is not for me, I saw a dk blue C5 with lt blue flames at Raceway Park last Sat.
As I recall the flames came over the front wheel well and also came from the gills. I'm not sure if there were any on the hood.

Re: Ghost Flames on C4 (daz_96CE_greenwood)
heres mine. its candy though, but will show how i did the transition from hood to door. silver is a hard color to put ghost flames on because a pearl will hardly show up on it. a darker color is better for pearl. i have more pics of this car (this photo is old and didn't even have clear on the car yet) if interested.

If you can, do them on the computer before the real thing to make sure you like it.
Good luck and show us some pics afterward :cheers:

Ok anyway, did you get your car off ebay? I swear I saw one exactly like that one not too long ago.

No I did not buy my vette off Ebay, I would have loved to see the one they had though. (You were asking me right?)

Thanks everyone for the pics, if you have any more please keep posting them. I think I'm going to go with a darker silver but not too much darker.
