Going to paint flames on my car
I was debating whether or not to paint flames on my car when i get my motor back from billy and get a new frontend for it
 Everybody i talked to said it would be pretty awesome looking to paint flames on it. It's already black so all i would have to do would be to add flames. I'm gonna do the flames in silver. Then across the back I'm gonna airbrush "If you can Read this, You just got Sprayed" What do you guys think?Eric

Dude do the flames. But, dont do a regualr flame job.
Here is a sketch I did for another site. This is how I am going to paint my car. Flames start just behind the front tire, tips pull back towards rear of car and get longer with each flame, and wrap around onto the back bummper. Brad Maybe this will work

I've seen several Stangs with flames around here. The nicest ones have sort of a fade job where you really can't see where they begin off the hood and kinda fade into the back as well. Subtle is the key to a great job.

Like mine, Black car with pearl blue flames. Most people don't even notice them unless they get really close to the car or are told they are there and go look, really hard to see unless you are at the right angle.
I agree with 929phoenixsquid, I like the subtle look.
