That's about it, only difference is I wanted blood red flames. Looks great, what did you do?

I was hoping to leave the denim black completely alone and add the flames in gloss onto it, then pinstripe over the paintline to hide it.

The only thing I would worry about there are problems relating to delamination - the flames might "peel off" if the basecoat isn't properly prepped- which would usually require sanding... and therefore kinda screwing up the denim. You might be able to scuff the flame surface only, but... I sure can't do it :P I'm not that talented.

I've taken my tins down to metal and reshot everything (pics coming soon) - but I'm doing a glossy metalflake flame thing now so I would have needed to anyway.

There's a guy on here that shot his own flames on the existing paint, let me see if I can find him...

Guys I don't know how they did it but I saw the design on a bike here in Dallas. OSC Other Side Customs will paint a similar design on my bike for $1200.00
