This is a link to a fellow member AUstins pics. I would like to know how to tape off my flames so I have the black flames at the front and then has the overlaying yellow/orange flames. Would you just tape off what you want to stay black ad fill it in with tape and then tape lay out your nect color layer??

Yeah, thats how I did it. Not to hard just takes alittle longer, it can get confusing but not too bad. Pinstripe is alittle tough though, because you have to find tips that go back onto the main body color. and I did drop shadows before unmasking. I didn't take pictures while painting it but I do have a couple before pinstripe.

I added a picture to past projects. I use green fine line ans transfer tape to mask off the flames. I had about a day and a half just in masking. As soon as I finished masking the front flames, I started masking off the yellow set. I sprayed the yellow, orange, violet tips, then did the drop shadows on the front set of flames (since they were alredy masked off it went quick). Then did the white highlights. Then sprayed 3 coats of clear, baked it sanded it with 800 on a DA, pinstriped and cleared again.
