subject: Motorcycle Flames Covered By Candy Color [print this page] Flames flowing down the side of an old hot rod can easily be pictured in most peoples minds. The bright red and yellow lighting up like a neon sign. Very nice in its moment in time and still is for those of us who like the "retro style" look. A very nice pick in some instances.
A common way of motorcycle flames being painted is by painting your design, initially, then applying a transparent paint color. A nice way to paint like this would be to spray the whole tank silver, then paint the flames in gold. You could the outline the flames in a lighter or darker shade of gold or silver. Then you take the transparent candy color and apply several coats over top the entire paint job.
You wind up with a tank that is entirely blue, red or whatever color you have chosen. Having a design, but the look is more subtle. A solid color but you can see the design through it. You can have it easily visible or you can put on the "candy coating" heavier so you can barely see the design unless it's in the sun or intense light. Toned down even further than the typical candy motorcycle flames.
Getting your motorcycle done painted in retro style or in a subtle candy coated is clearly an option of individual preference.
There are new kinds of paint and ways of custom painting that arrise from time to time. Candys, marbles, pearls, chameleon,etc. There is a technique of painting flames that has been out for some time. Some like to call it real fire, true fire or realistic fire. You need to do several layers but the effect is definitely worth it. It really looks very nice.
