Looking great!!

Is there a smoke graphic after the flames or is that a factor of sanding.

FINAL PIX are definatley in order! I'd love to see these flames on a Vette. I've only seen it done on a '32 Ford Roadster. The first time I saw 3D flames like this, my jaw dropped, and I finally thought, someone has it right! THIS is what flames are supposed to look like on a car.
Thanks! I know, can't wait to see the final clear coat finished.
If I hadn't had a friend here local with the skills and influence to create the real flame look, I would have gone a different route.
After seeing some of Mark's work and the talent he has, I knew I had to have them.

Thanks.
No smoke, it's probably the reflections and where we were wiping some places down to better see the effects.
