Airbrushing Flames - Second Method

Second Method - In this method we'll use the "positive" mask image. Because of the "scale" match and because quality flame masks are not easily made, Hot Headz are being used for this method:

Here is a '32 Delivery body in pearl white.

The flame masks are being applied to the side(s) of the Delivery using an X-Acto knife to carefully position them.

Here's how they look when fully applied.

And with another mask applied to the roof.

The remaining process is pretty straight-forward.  The main body color should be sprayed over the remaining portion of the body being sure to coat the entire car.  Then use a sharp X-Acto knife to carefully remove the flame masks once the paint has dried thoroughly. The result will be a very nice set of pearl white flames!  You can lightly sand to feather the edges if necessary or just clear coat.
