An example of flames you can do.
Flames can be seen everywhere on vehicles, from low riders to high end convertibles and even on hybrids. Flame designs are virtually fool-poof to make but easy to find if art isn't your strong suit. Candy paint, a type of glittery car paint with suspended shiny flecks, usually has some level of transparency and gives the vehicle a lacquered look and a three-dimensional effect to things painted under it.
Instructions
1. Design your flames either freehand or by copying and printing out an image of flames from your computer.
2. Cut the flame shape out then place the image over painter's tape or stenciling (slightly sticky) paper.
3. Outline the flames on the sticky paper or painter's tape.
4. Use a box cutter or utility knife to cut out the flames.
5. Remove the backing from the paper starting at a corner and carefully stick it to the part of the car you want to paint, making sure there are no wrinkles or gaps.
6. Cover the car except for the part you want to paint.
7. Use spray paint or a paint machine to paint the flames the color of your choice. If you spray straight on at the flames while slowly moving from side to side from 18 inches away, the color will be thick and even. For a fade effect, stand parallel to the car about 18 inches behind the stencil and aim the spray at an angle. The side closest to you will be darkest while the side furthest away will be lighter, giving the effect of fading into the primary paint color.
8. Remove the stencil once the paint has dried.
9. Top the dried flames with a coat of candy paint. Once it has dried, finish with a protective top or clear coat.
