Default old school paint?

Would a flaked paint job with subtle flames on lower part of tank go with hot rod pastries on top of tan, and fender tips? Example is smooth in vividdragon.com new gallery.

pastries....lol, makes me hungry for breakfast...lol, I think so it is all in how its executed. I think if the flames were ghosted in, it would look even cooler. Have them done so they are only seen in certain lighting....
