Just signed up the other day and have been searching a lot of posts. Old cars are my sickness and since I cannot afford to pay to have them built, I do it myself. I am decent at BC/CC and have done 3 complete cars and several pieces.
My current project is a 1940 Olds coupe and I have completed the initail Base color and cleared it. I had a friend who is a pinstriper come lay out flame patterns on the hood and fenders in fineline (I have no artistic talent). In the next few days I will shoot the pearl for the ghost flames. That is what I have been researching on this site. Still shooting test panels at the moment. First test panel was with PPG radiance crystal silver pearl but the result had too much glitter effect for what I was looking for. This evening I will try a couple with a frost blue pearl and a fine white to see how they look.
A couple of pics of the car in my homemade booth. Thanks for the information.
