need some suggestions

I am not happy with the frront of my blazer right now. I have 2 ideas and would like to get your opinions.. first is to paint the bumper and grills and all chrome on the front end in purple to match the flames.. The second is to paint a negative set of flames in the tangelo orange on the front of the blazer to take some of the purple out. i would take the licks to the middle of the fenders and the midddle of the hood. I have to clear the truck again so painting some more is not a big deal. I paint everyday as it is... Just wanted some opinions from this board. I am going to paint a motorcycle fender tomorrow to get an idea about the orange negative flames.. thanksName:  1.jpg

Re: need some suggestions

I think you may have too much chrome up front for the rest of your truck. I would swap to the older headlamp buckets and grille trim, and go to a billet grille. Paint the lower valence purple to match the flames, and leave the front bumper chrome. I think that would look pretty sharp. If you are painting the rear bumper, them paint the front as well.
