Thanks to all that have shared pic's....I have a 2000 Artic White and am looking to add some very subtle ghost flames .... to add to the paint job.... in a very classy manner....I don't want them over powering, very lightly painted, so one will have to do a double take to see them....

Need to page MRBFAST, he has some of the nicest I have seen...including a side window treatment that ties in the licks on the hood. Will see if I can get him to share pics.

Real ghost paint work is very hard to get pictures of. If you walk past a car with good ghost work without seeing it the 1st time, then thats good ghost paint.JMHO
Example GBs vette with C5 emblems ghosted.

Something other than flames, perhaps
It is funny watching people walk by, they think they saw something, then start looking at different light angles to view the hood.
