Painted the hood with Ghost Flames

[Bizness]

I took the fire blanket off and noticed Ford didnt paint under it, so I wanted to get it painted and wanted add a different touch to it.

I have ghost flames on my speedster cover already

hard to see as they are very light ghost flames..

we made them a bit darker on the hood by adding more pearl, and then on the under side adding more red to the goldflake...but not too much or it turns pink..lol

Thoughts?

Wow that looks badass.

Subtle but very sweet looking. Nice job.

not to be negative, but those don't look like flames. especially on the underside. just my .02. but if you like them then it shouldn't matter what anyone thinks

I really like it! I want something like that...but how would it look on black? haha. I have the tonneau cover too....so that looks WAY sick!

That's really nice. Your car deserves a set of nice, aftermarket hood vents now!

Thanks guys for the compliments...I would love to change out these cheap plastic ones..any suggestions?

And to the flames...the ones on the hood def look like flames, but I agree the underside its hard to tell in the pics...they are a minature version of the hood flames...but I do see where it may not look like flames, it was hard to do them in such a small space..wanted to keep them in the inserts.
1000 ppl will walk by and not even notice the ones on the underside unfortunately..lol

edit: I found the billet flow thread on here

Looks good. Subtle flames can be just as nice as crazy flames. Depending on the car it can be better to not go nuts with the tape and spray gun.:thumbsup:

Thanks guys...I'll update the pics this week with the speedster cover.

Can't see sh!t in that first pic. Looks good tho. I think someone else said subtle and sweet.:thumbsup:

Blue would look wayy sick, that's such a good call. I'm taking my tonneau in to be painted in like 2 weeks so maybe I'll have them do that. That would be sooo nice

Look at the bottom right..its hard to see as they are very ghosted...but it's since been repainted and now you can really see them, I picked it up tonite..will post pics tomorrow...

checking on options for hood vents..

thanks for the comments guys! :thumbsup:
