Looking for some ideas on a paintjob for my 21. I definitely want something very flashy and over the top like flames, tribal, bright colors etc. but also need to keep it with in my skill level.

Ive been sketching out some ideas on paper to get an idea of how it would look. So far, I like this one the best.

What do you think? Diffrent colors? Diffrent design?
I will be using Imron.
Thanks
Geoff

I think you have the colors backwards. The flame is white and the background is red.
It at first looks not like you intend- flames, but funny red bloobs going forward.
Everyone is used to flames and their brain flips this but thats what I first saw.

If you look at the red the image should reverse into what I first saw.
In a way I like that brain tease of dual patterns depending on how you look at it.:D

Other than that I would change the flame at the deck join that you have mirrored. I think it would look better if it wasn't.
One thing I learned when I was searching for a pattern is to ignore the thing your painting and stretch the pattern over it. I did follow some molded in stuff but if you look at the custom radical jobs on race stuff the canvas is flat and layed over whatever they painted, They totaly disregard what it is and let the design consume it all.

PS. Your cowl should be painted also, but not black. It should be red to match the rest. Flamed or something.
