What "style" flames do ya like?

[animal]

I've been around hot rods and bikes since I was able to breathe, pretty much. My dad and my uncles started taking me to the drags and oval tracks when I was not quite two. I've seen flames of every kind, from short and stubby to long and skinny. Realistic, psychedelic, you name it. I've painted flames on hundreds of cars, bikes, refrigerators, even a potato truck. So my question is....what kind of flames do YOU like?

A few more....

Gotta be multi colored. Whit, yellow, red, orange, blue.

I like the combination of the thin flames and the "realistic" flames like on the Camaro (or whatever it is)

For the heck of it I broke out my brush and did just the outline flames on my 59 a few years back. (sorry no real good pics)

I'm partial to the long, spindly flame licks, as well.

I always liked just a touch of flames in well chosen spots rather than one the looked totally engulfed.

I like ghost flames. The ones that you have to be right next to the car to see.

Old style, long and skinny. Multi color, yellow, orange, red, blue. Or ghost flames. Don't care for the "real flame" style a bit.

Classic California flames - Those are long and skinny white to yellow to orange with a blue tip for those of you not up on the terms...[cl

i like all kinds of flame paint jobs, now that said. i like traditional flames on older stuff say 66 and older. tribal and real style flames are better on new stuff. but you all know that some cars and trucks should not have a flame paint job, they just don't look right, even some of the older cars and trucks. i have a 90 chevrolet suburban, needs to be repainted. it is black and silver, needs to be black with a newer style of some kind of flames or scallops, but never the traditional style of flames imo.

You're right, some cars just don't need flames. With all the flames I've painted, I haven't put any on one of my own street vehicles for almost twenty years.

there is an old caddy here in town
it has the short skinny all red flames everywhere on the body
the car is a POS and the paintjob is amateur at best.
but goin down the road that thing is sooo cool lookin!
