Default More Fire Pics!

I don't have any updated pics of the flames on the sides of car yet, but thought this was interesting.
Here's a couple pics of my airbrushed door sill emblems after it was cleare coated.
I really like how the Kandy Colors change tones depending on the light (flash) angles. These are some of the same colors used in flaming the sides, so the flames on the sides should react the same to the difference in the light, I hope.

This is before the clear coat.


This was taken without the flash after clear coat was applied.


This is with the flash. The kandy red color really comes out in the light.
