opinions of paint idea?

The guys at Fender Mender Auto body who did such an awesome job with my Orange L want to flame it...The flames would be a red/orange blended to a purple trimmed in black..I know the quality will be oustanding and I've seen flames the've done which were really nice...I love the truck the way it is so I thought I'd ask your opinions.
Paul

Tribal flames?

I'd spend the dough on chrome 20s first.

After seeing your truck in person,I agree with Odin.Chrome wheels would look great.I don't see how more paint could attract any more attention than what you have.
Go with chrome if you have the money.

I think a 2/4 drop with the rims RobG has on his black L would look sweet with the grabber orange along with some BABolt chrome exhaust tips.

But I think a goast flame would better than a stand off flame.

Ok, the flames aren't costing me a thing my friend just wants to do them, The plan is to bring the truck in on the 26th, flame it paint and detail under the hood with billett etc...put either the 20'kmc thunders or 01 replicas on, install the bedrug and the matching under lid upholstery along with bringing some orange into the interior. Oh yea my Nitrous bottle is painter like an orange juice bottle . It says TROPICA'NOS Pure 100% Florida Juice, No Pulp net: wt 10lbs and it has oranges with screaming faces on it

Hey TZRider drop me an email when you can "MA01GA02@aol.com"
I'am finally getting that cobra style hood and i called that shop but the lady was not really helpful just wondering if you could help me out.

You may remember i talked to you at that coffee shop off of federal back at the beginning of january.

Awesome truck by the way, and if the flames are done right it should look awesome.

Hey What's up Paul............I'd say leave it be man..........don't do the flames..........get the 20" chrome replicas, and be done.........you're already in the top 5 of baddest lightnings ANYWHERE in my opinion........both looks and speed......especially now with the giggle gas!!

I'll see you Friday more than likely............save me a spot!

Free flames would be hard to turn down. But I like it the way it is. Just get the chrome 20's and call it a day.

He's also offered to wet sand them off if I don't like them and re-clear it

No Chit! Hell go for it then. A free reversable flame job. Can't beat that. That's the clincher.
