These 'true fire' paint jobs are incredible! I also like when the vehicle has stripes with this 'fire' in them and the rest of the body is painted normally with metallic paint.

Those are FANTASTIC! I think the trick to making flames look this realistic, is in the size/proportion of the flame licks: The flame licks on this hotrod are long with a few accent licks, as opposed to short with lots of licks.

Also takes about 5 different colors, and 2-3 different candy colors, layered upon layered on each other......it's really a very cool art form....

Also you notice he is not using an extraction system. Maybe it's just for the demo, but I was an airbrush artist for over twenty years and finally had to stop because the atomized paint was getting to hard on my stomach - and that was using an extraction system all the time! |

This is really nice. Thinking the flames would look nice in a bike with matching flames on the side of the black helmet. Would be nice to have some overspray on the face shield on a full face helmet too.
