thanks for the pics, beautiful ride.

are those "foiled" flames or just the way the pics came out?

It almost looks like the flames have texture to them, very cool especialy when they completly disapear from the other angle.

I like flames, but Ghost Flames are for me

The technique is to lay down the silver metalflake and dab it with saran wrap to get the marble effect. A burgundy candy is then sprayed over the area. The tape is removed and the entire car is clearcoated and sanded several times. There is no texture, not even the standard GM 'orange peel'. When you stand in front and look down the side, just another black vette.

Thank you for the compliments!

MHefner, former (current) forum member had subtle purple ghost flames on his Vette. If I remember, he had a '99 FRC.
