Actually, The fire is painted on but it still gets lots of looks.

 

Dude! You got that technique from Killer Paint. I love that style! That's the first MINI I've seen with this style. If you love that one then you're going to love what I do to Icarus.

Do you have anything on the sides?

 

Yes its totally Killer Paint, I mean Mike Levalle (I believe, total respect) But their are some subtle differences. I hope it goes over well here on the East Coast. I need to make a Mortgage payment!!!!!!!!

 

I was watching the Discovery Chanel and they were showing the guy that did these fire paint jobs. An air brush god!!!

 

Check more of his stuff out at Killer Paint.

 

I should clear this up. It is not a Killer Paint True Fire job, Myself and my partner do this in New Jersey. Tons more to come.

 

Check out www.lambspeed.com and www.apwpaint.com to see what we are up to on the right coast. dont click on the apwpaint.com link, It just sends you to apw. Type it into your browser to check out Chips site, Thanks

 

Great job! I didn't mean to say that guy did that paint job. I meant that it's a similar style. I really love that style. I have a local guy down here that can do that style too. Love it!

 

THAATT'SS wicked-awesome! (As we used to say in New England when I was a boy)...


Even without the flames, the crescent paint job is an absolute first. The fire puts it over the top!

Off the hook, mang!

 

sorry, apw has changed his url. I will get back to you on that. It should be www.apwpaint.com

 

I was kind of wondering about that last link.

Keep up the great work. More pics if you got 'em.

 

here are some more

 

maybe now

 

How many clear coats do you have on that?

 

Four. Two on the original two tone ( I had tons of body work on the hood due to my own stupidity) and two to cover the "fire"

 

So you laid the fire on top of clear coat?

 

yes, I made my original color repair, taped out the black, cleared it. Sanded everything with 800 taped off the Dark silver, sprayed the fire then cleared everything. Standox paint rules!!!!!!!

 

Very sweet effect, thanks for showing it off =) Hadn't seen that before.

 

I'm not one to like stuff like that, but it is truly AWESOME!

I have to admit, the vent that I cut into the hood not only looks good, but does release a lot of hot air after shut down, and who knows what it does when im re entering th atmosphere????????? I also welded up three holes for the Mini badge as you can see.

 

Wicked paint job!

 

tradiuz, I guess you have survived the storm? Thanks for the input

 

that is a cool paint job, dude...Awesome

 

tell us more about that vent on the hood.

 

I went out on a limb. One too many High Lifes and Their I was cuttin a hole in my hood. It was probably more fashion than function but if someone wants to test it, be my guest.
