Default Help With Real Flames

Ok here is the story. I bought a car off the forum last June. It belonged to the member 6 Kids. It is a black 2001 Coupe with extensive real flame paint under the hood (pic below). I am looking at having a couple other things painted to match. Does anyone know who he had do the paint? or anyone that could replicate the paint? I have attempted to contact him with no luck on the forum or by phone. Any help would be appreciated. I have looked online and found alot of people who can do the work but would like the same artist.


Thanks

Might be no help, but have you looked very closely at the stuff you have? A lot of these artists sign their work.

All I can say is that if you are trying to have the next painter match what has already been painted...(like in your photo you posted). You will need to send them a piece to match off of. Due to so many styles and way of doing a "real flame" paint scheme. Trying to find what colors and candies (if any) were used.

I am guessing it will not be able to be matched. If I don't find away to contact the previous member then I will just have to hold off on doing it. I would rather not have something painted that will not match. I was unable to find a signature anywhere on the paint work.
