we have a BCP xb at work thats got white ghost flames running down the fenders to the backs of the front doors, just a small 3" tall set of flames running along the body line, its not really ghosted on this car, I'm debating doing something fairly similar on mine, both fenders and front doors, but in a blue pearl, what do yall think? good Idea yes or no?
heres my car(its almost a year old pic just for reference though)

this would be pretty subtle, you'd have to actually look for it to see it, without it being in the sun

not that much but yes, I'm talking a 3" tall strip at the top of the fender (the body line down 3") from the front of the fenders to the backs of the front doors

I've been thinking about it, but I want a way to break it up a bit, these flames were overlapped so it looked like a continuous flame... I'd love to hide a maltese cross in there somewhere... just not sure where

I think it would look cool. I like flames. I thought of doing ghost flames on my box.

I dont think that the area that your talking about doing will be big enough to get any kind of detail out of the flames.. .

I'm doing small flames, 4" high, and 2 or 3 different flames overlapped

You would know about things being too small... ;)
I say do it. A little detail on the front is always nice, nice and subtle.
