Pretty neat, although I couldn't do that to my black vert. However those guys put some hours into that paint.

Wow allot of work, and allot of time but it is not my cup of tea, still I respect the work and the time spent. thankfully not everyone likes the same thing.

Cool to see the amount of work involved... must’ve cost a pretty penny.

Labor intensive, yes. Respect for that.
Good looking or something I'd drive? No. The variety of the flames is really poor I think. Much too boring.
If you want to see how fire is REALLY done, check out this link.
(My next vette is going to these guys, even if I have to save an extra 4 years for the paint job) http://www.killerpaint.com
Once in the main site, go to the link for Tru Fire. There are 4 different sets of pics to look through. These dudes are truly Bad Azz!!!
Think how sweet that type of paint would look on a Shark! Drawing up the long nose, then flaming out the 'gills' in the side....UGHHHH...it hurts too much to think about how sweeeeet it would look....

Nice presentation.
The could have gotten away with doing a full body graphic WRAP for a bunch $$$ cheaper..
Think that stuff lasts 3-5 years.
Thanks for posting
