ghost flames

Here's my attempt at ghost flames. I used gloss aluminum (tamiya) and pearl white (craft paint). This was my first try and I think the results were pretty good.

Next time, I'd sand the where the flames were masked a little better. Maybe put another coat of pearl white on to hide the flames more. A nice thick clear coat would have been nice too. The reason I didn't do this time is because this was only a test, and the pearl white cracked.

At certain angles, the flames are almost invisible.

if your ever going to use dupli-color mirage paint, spray on the semi-gloss base coat, and after that dries, paint on the flames using flat black, then apply so many coats of the mirage paint. I havent tried it, but i think it might work.

Yeah, I pretty much followed the tutorial, except that I painted the flames body color after removing the masks.

The flames look great. I'm planning on trying this myself one day. I really like the colors you chose. It's a winner....

That looks awesome! How bout a little more lenghty explanation on how you did it? I know I'd love to try this but always though I'd have to have an airbrush to do it.
