If you have photoshop you can play with flames and other designs. I am waiting for a coworker to get back from vacation with his laptop. I have put flames on and chopped and channeled my car in photoshop. If you have it play with it if you don't email me dustin@castleusa.com and when he gets back we can play with your ideas.

i dont know much about paint, but isnt there different transparencys? or thickness or somethin...? Osofast2001 has a really cool flame paint job on his car, http://www.pbase.com/nemesys6/inbox&page=2 (Get the paint thinner or somethin to make it see-throughish)

but you can really see it... I think it looks cool, but what other design were u thinkin of getting?

the trend was started by the lowrider crowd with murals and later the hotrod crown did it then the harely guys i guess its found its way to imports.

You could have them airbrushed on. That would be pretty trick. Just make sure you like the design first

im not really sure what kind of design i want to do...im thinkin maybe tribal or whatever design i think looks pretty cool...the reason y i am choosing ghost instead of regular decal..is cuz it looks hella trippy...and not too many imports i think have them

Yes. It has to be done with an imager that can melt colors together. It would be like a picture. BUT it will not look good up close.
