I’ve never painted a car or truck, but would like to try. I think painting anything is pretty daunting sounding, but painting flames or graphics seems like something otherworldly to me. When you watch a video like this one from Time Warp Custom Paint, you can’t help but feel a little bit inspired. It makes me want to take out my pencil and start drawing flames like I did as a kid, grab some fineline tape, and then get my paint on. And if I had an old hood or something to practice on I just might do that. Especially if I keep watching these cool videos from Time Warp. I swear there is so much information in here, delivered in a way that makes it seem simple, that I feel inspired and capable each time I watch one.
In this video you’ll see how the flames are laid out, how to transfer your design to the other side of the vehicle/hood/etc, how to lay down the basecoat, the color coats, the clear, and more. It really is a tutorial that is aimed at making you feel confident trying this at home, and they do a great job of it.

I like those! He makes it look so easy, I’m sure it’s not.
