Well I couldn't leave well enough alone - I stripped the paint off of my "Hot Rod" Charger - to make it a little more "unique" :think:

After getting "clouded" paint due to trying to paint when the humidity was too high, I lucked into what appears to be a fix (at least for this paint job). I found that after letting the paint cure for a couple weeks, I could use isopropyl alcohol and denim cloth to buff the "cloudiness" out of the paint!
WhooHoo! :D
I guess sometimes going with the "well - got nothing to loose, lets try this" method can work out well!

So after some time sketching out flames on masking tape - I've gone from this:



To this point - where the Indigo Blue base is nearly ready for the yellow part of the flames to go on.
I still have a couple "touch ups" to do on the masking yet - but hoping to laying down paint tomorrow and thought I would share the intermediate "progress" shot. :)



I am thinking the solid base color with "flames" will look right at home with the blower assembly! :)

Enjoy!

Oooooh. Looking forward to seeing how it goes.

I like where this is going. Looks pretty sweet so far.

I've never been good at masking flames.. Yours look great~

Looking forward to updates..

After a veeeery long delay - I finally got the paint for the flames laid on. Will have to wait a bit for it to sure so that I can color sand the edges - but I think it will look pretty nice once the sanding and clear is laid. :)

Here is an update shot...

Well my hats off to you. That is one heck of a masking job.

Absolutely a excellent job on them flames Todd. More patience than I have.

:text-bravo:

Thanks for the kind words guys! I am definitely happy with the results so far and think that this will look much more fitting with the blower than the red with white top paint job did. :)

Bravery paid off!!!

Very cool look!!

So far so good. This is going to look epic.

I have to get some pics outside in natural light so that the metallic in the dark blue shows - but wanted to share a photo now that reassembly is nearly complete! Pretty happy with the end result! :D

Wow great job todd!!!!!

Todd - That turned out HOT!
