First time laying flames

[801Rider]

Well, this is going to be my first go at laying flames.

Started out with this:

Then I cleaned it up.

Then comes the paint :moon: Fender was primered, but no pics.

Silver base along with some silver flake, 0.15

First coat of HOK Tangerine

After 5 coats of candy

3 coats of clear

Hopefully I can do the flames sometime in the next day or so. Part needed some body work, but I'm more or less just using this as a color test for a pedal car that I'm going to be doing here soon.

Looks good so far!
That would be a nice candy color for a pedal car!

This will be my second go at it First time shooting candy

But I did a lot of body work to it to straighten it out and I also removed the grooves on the hood that you can see in these pics

Now its all in primer

[801Rider]

Not sure yet? Haven't really thought about it much, may be experimenting with some lightning airbrushing on the flames first

 

[801Rider]

Pulled the tape, had to clean up a few small spots with some thinner where the tape lifted, or at least wasn't properly sitting flush.

 

[801Rider]

Scuffed it all up, cleaned it, and shot the clear

 

[TAZ]

Came out nice. Like der devil said, some pinstripes and maybe even some drop shadows would really bring 'em out.

They did come out nice though!!! Great start!

Thanks. It will be pinstriped for sure, I cleared it so that if I decided to do some airbrushing over the flames, I didn't risk messing up the job lol. I'll be able to use some thinner and clean it up
