FLAMERS

[PAULYBOY]

How many here have been practicing any type of realistic flame jobs for cars, bikes, blenders, toilets, what have you? There seem to be a few trade marked systems with specific macks and techniques, and a few rogue technicians out the re boldly flaming where no one has flamed before. As soon as I finish the tank on my old Suzuki, I'm gonns upload some pics of my contribution to the world of burning paint.

Fair go kimmo, your fire is awesome!

Pauly, always post what you paint mate, it's rewarding in so many ways. Realistic fire has such an open way of being painted, with so many different methods, there are only really a few steadfast rules that I have found in creating realistic fire. the main one is to always have some reference material in front of you at all times, the other is to remember that fire is random.

Good luck and show us what you can do.

Not really a right or wrong with the flame work....just stay away from too much stencil patterns...but then I have seen some over stenciled fire that is eye catching and pops......fire is unpredictable.... paint them that way.....post when you can.....of the millions of people in the world...the only one you have to please at the time of the project is the customer. *NOTE; Sometimes that seems impossible

Once I finish the tank on my old motorcycle, I'll post some pix. Right now, I've got the side covers, rear light cover and front fender done, as well as my brain bucket. Hopefully this weekend I'll get some time, but right now I'm helping train my 19 yo son for his 2nd UFC style fight. Takes a LOTTA time!
