Here are some finished pics. As you can see the different lighting situations make the flames more or less visible.

I think it looks good man. That was a good price for a good cause.

Default Looks Good

The flames look great. I really like hand painted flames and subtle flames. You got both. And it was for a good cause. It's win win.

Looks perfect. I especially like the use of the tone-on-tone effect of the blue on blue combo. On my last C5 I did almost the exact same thing, a very subtle dark orange flame on a torch red. You could only see it in certain lighting depending on the angle. I guess since it was a charity event you got a lot of work for your money.

BTW, my forum name should give a hint of my profession.

What would you do on a Millenium yellow for the same concept?
