Default translucent flames?

I would like to see some pictures of some C-5s painted with traslucent flames. I would like to see all combinations, but particularly what a red tint would look like. If anyone has done ANY flames on a black car, I would like to see the look.

(Flames please, not flamers )

Contact GB, he has one of the nicest vettes on the forum and one of the best examples of ghost flames. Amazing car.
I am sure he will see this and post here.

Wow, those are some remarkable paint jobs. Out of curiosity, would $10,000 get a paint job as good as any of those or am I dreaming?

Busted Knuckles ( JIm Dawes) has red and is outstanding.... I think Flames look great on anything.
Mine are not what you are looking for but still gives you an idea of a different type of flame.
I am also attaching a concept of a '32 I am building that I did with photoshop....flames are just cool

I have over $20 in mine on the Vette but I found a guy that is VERY VERY good close to Gettysburg ( not far from you) that can do it for about$10-$12 as long as there is very little body work. Less if not repainting the entire car

If you can get hold of the July 2004 CORVETTE FEVER magazine, on the cover and inside article has black vette with red flames. If you send me your email I will send you photo.
