Get it done first by a sign shop in vynol. Then if it doesn't come out good you can peel it right off.

Your gonna put red flames over that nice white

why not do a nice pearlescent flame that changes color something very suttle yet showy?

IMHO it would look way better then something so bold on that nice white paint.

Just don't use a flat gray, add some lighting flair to the color otherwise it will just look cheap.

yeah here, i'll give them to u in photoshop format, they're vector so you can change the size and shape infinitely and not lose quality. and once you've figured out what u like, ur shop guy can use the file to print the flames lol.

the .psd is hosted here
