plain white makes it look like a fleet truck, I like the flames on that blazer renedering, but I don't know if I'd like it on white though

Here are a couple pics of a VTX I painted a few years back. They're not really ghost flames, but they're close. I think the colors look pretty good on white. I really prefer more of a ghost effect, which you can get just by airbrushing the edges a little lighter than I did on these.

By the way... I REALLY like the looks of your truck just as it is!

RevRup · 07-14-2011, 08:17 PM

^^^Yeah, that's what I was trying to say

Delo69 · 07-14-2011, 08:29 PM

If you really feel strong about Flames go with the ghost flames with some shade of mica in it, blue mica looks really good on a white truck

I have a friend who put on magnetic/vinyl flames that are about 18 inches long by 6 inches wide. They actually look pretty sharp. Because they are magnetic you can move them around anywhere on the truck. Each week a different look. Low cost and you don't mess with the paint.
