First time tapeing flames, your thoughts? Pics ins

[tiller2nv]

Well so far so good I think,lol. I know its hard to tell from the pics how this looks but any tips would be great before I finish tapeing and shoot. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/peace.gif

I think Im going to do gold then a candy blue and leave a gold outline. Im just not sure about the layout. The more and more I look at it the more I want to make changes /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/foreheadslap.gif Oh well I guess if I mess it up Ill just redo it.

Looks great so far...what about a silver base, then the flames in blue. The silver outline will tie in with the rims?!?!
Don't know about the gold (with those rims /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bigokay.gif), especially when gold and silver base under candy really don't make too much of a difference at all under candy blue~~

Scott's got a good point on the silver,the gold will be a bit flashy.As far as the rest,shoot the damn thing and post the final pic,can't wait to see it.

 

[tiller2nv]

Yeah thought about silver but I only have about 1/4 of a can left. You guys make a good point though, I might have to head down to the paint store tomorrow. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cheers.gif

I like the style and shape of the flames on the hood! Looks great. Definately show us what the finished result looks like.

If this is your first time laying flames then you can't tell, cause those look GREAT! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cheers.gif

Great job of being symmetrical. It has a nice smoothe flow to it. I wouldn't make to many changes. Most of the time the more complex you try and become, the more cluttered the work looks.
I think you've done a tremendous job. Keep the colors in tune with your base colors on the flames. It will mesh more as a complete job! Just my personal outlook. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bounce.gif

 

[xtreme31]

hey...where did you get a masking kit fo ryour truck? i would like to do a simalar thing. how did you manage those PIMP flames?

 

[xtreme31]

how did you tap eteh flames like that? did you use a kit?

 

[tiller2nv]

Naw I guess I just got lucky with the layout. But I changed it a bit. It took me three rolls to get it right,lol. Heres a pic. Just play with it until you get wjat you like.

Beautiful Job!

What's this??? You've got her dolled up like a show stopper... but wait, /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek_yello.gif there in the bed... You're using her for a truck! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif LOL

Hey, that's what trucks are for!

 

[myfamiliacc]

Oh Damn!! That turned out SWEET!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bigokay.gif

So did you do the shadows in pinstriping, or air brushed them?

and do you have any plans for the front bumper?

 

[tiller2nv]

Thanks, I used fineline for the shadows. If I knew then what I know now I would have just used a airbrush. But oh well you live and learn. I took a pretty good break from the project. Im painting the bumper and grill today. Should be done soon! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bigokay.gif

 

[myfamiliacc]

Thats going to look tight /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bigokay.gif

 

[tiller2nv]

Finally got em done!
