When I lay out flames, I never make a pattern, I do it all freehand... I specifically tell people, these flames will NOT be perfectly symmetrical, they'll be pretty damn close, but not perfect...I like the randomness of it, most people can't tell anyway & you can only look at one side at a time anyway, so if one lick on one side is 1/2" off in one direction or another, you'll never see it or notice it without measuring it...that being said, this is a wonderful job... lots of great tips! and that's a beautiful car too...🖖🏿😎👍🏿
I agree, why make all that extra work for yourself, ?
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I know lots of guys who lay out flames (as well as graphics) by eye and call it a day. I'm way too much of a perfectionist to make it "close", I want it dead on. It's an extra hour of work that I have no problem doing...
People need to watch this to truly appreciate the amount of work it takes to flame a vehicle. Nice work. 👍
The balance and composition of positive flame to negative space and the alternating lobes up the flame body just make it dance. I'm trying to make this a formula for want of natural.skill and an ey for it. You truly are working a gift. Bravo
For once, watching paint dry has been really instructional. Thank you!
Absolutely love the way you talk people through doing the job and doing it right because you're taking pride in your work
Brings back memories of those day spent endless hours in the shops all over pinstriping and lettering. Most of the time I'd be steady at it without eating all day, just to get the job done. As long as I had something to drink and a radio playing in the background, I would lose track of time and go all day!

I love your show. Your how to pinstripe and flames excellent. Enjoyed you show on Mitch Kim. I grew up in Portland Or. My two idles were Mitch and Gary Crisp. They were the best at there craft in the area. Thank you for your shows.
Lessons from a master, thanks for the video!! 40 years so cool
Brilliant work. I have an entirely new appreciation for flames.
That, and flamers...
Excellent instructional! This was such fun to watch - thanks. You took me back to the mid60s when one of my older brothers pinstriped his '57 Chevy. I think he put some girl's name on it, too.
Thank you!
Great video thank you for sharing
I enjoyed the shit out of this, man. That green really went good with those colors.

"I used a regular mack brush... grabbed it outta my stash." You're hired!
Love it Brad!!
Yeah, I've never tried that chalk trick. I've always done the pounce pattern thing.
Go get'em brother!!

THE BEST $ CAN BUY💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Thanks for sharing your skill set and techniques. Really helps alot. I look forward to more videos 🤙🤙
Oo maestros espero ya se me quite la pereza son de verdad inspiradores grasias😊
A ton of great tips. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent work 👍🏻 The color is a little too brown for me I would like it to have a little more pop a little brighter orange and purplish but that's just my flavor. Appreciate you sharing your experience and knowledge, thank you!!
Thank you! It must be how the colors look on your monitor because there's definitely NO Brown in there! Orange to Magenta makes an "off" Red transition, but that's about it...
I have always enjoyed doing flames. I did learn something today. Your way of making both sides match. I have always used a stipple wheel and a pounce pad but your method cuts that time down even more.
Right! I have to try this way also...
Dennis Ricklefs taught me that trick! Just don't use "black" chalk because it's actually graphite and nothing will stick to it...
Beautiful job.
Thank you!
Thanks , new subscriber
Beautiful work,thanks for sharing
Thank you very much!
Pertty cool I'll have to add that to my tools the chalk pencil it eliminates the pounce wheel step saving some time
AND the mess of cleaning up all the chalk!
That was AWESOME
Thank you!
Super cool!
Thank you!
Great Job ! more people need to like this Vid!
I appreciate that!
i am not a fan of yellow cars, and i am not a fan of flames on any car, BUT, there is something i like about this car with the flames on it. it may ne the colors, i dont know, but it is well done. i am sure the owner will be happy with the results.
He dug it! Thank you!!
0:34 You got any tutorials how to use Illustrator or Affinity to make the Blazer art?
Am I close on this estimate: $200 per hour times 40 hours = $8,000?
Not quite that much but close...
Ace!
Thank you!
i hope you can help me i painted my car with transtar urethane paint and transtar clear coat a week latter i wet sanded it with 800 and used the gray scotchgard pad I applied 3M 1/8 thin line tape to make my flames i pulled the tape on and off many of times to try and get the flames to my liking i let it set over night and then used a plastic scraper to make sure the tape was flat so no paint would blead under . Here's my problem i decided i didn't like some so i pulled the tape off and reapplied all was well until i pulled the last piece doing so i pulled a very large piece of paint off now i have to redo the panel plus's im scared it will happen again any help would be very much appreciated thanks Dean

I'm going estimate $200 per hour times 40 hours = $8,000?
A buddy of mine in Memphis invented bulldog with his father
Dude!
@@StoriesnSteel David childress from Memphis he has a brother and his father came up with a formula that contained fiberglass resin when he brought it to abra body shop he was using a thicker formula to go right over 80 grit I didn’t understand at the time what they where doing but it evolved into a product sold to Kleen strip another Memphis company if I’m not mistaken the kids now are in their 50s and I think they are lead painters at a dealership now great guys this was in the late 80s
@ajcates9136 That's badass! I've used it for awhile now and it always worked well. Thank you for that...
Why the thick line on the radius, just your thing?
Just me!
What chalk pencils are those?
Just chalk pencils I picked up at the art supply place. Nothing special really, just chalk...
You do beautiful work , but I've never understood the obsession with going through so much work to make them simetricle you can't see both sides at the same time and flames are meant to be random
That's what I always thought - you can't see both sides at the same time.... I always try to match up the hood as close as possible, but the you can get away with close enough on the sides.!
I do it that way because then I KNOW both sides are the same...
Thought the same but when standing in front of the car you do see both sides even if only bits of the lower parts, secondly you have to take drone Fotos into account nowadays.
Not gonna lie, hearing grease and wax remover in that order feels odd lol
I'm a bit backwards anyways...
Your voice sounds like Kurt Russell.
Maybe with a bad cold and tonsillitis! He's way cooler too...
Well I made it 20 seconds and the stupid intro made me just go on... You ruined it no matter what the content with that stupid intro!
I'll be here all week! Try the veal and don't forget to tip your servers...
