Art & Inspiration Candy, Lace, Flake, Flames... wanna see WILD custom paint...

Once again thanks for all your posts, loudbang!
One style I haven't seen much here and out in the world is something that was sort of common for funny car tin. A base was applied, then acetylene soot created the pattern which was covered in clear.
Found this example doing a search.

 

Talk about serendipity today on the HAMB somewhere and I can't remember which thread acetylene soot painting was shown I THINK on a Comet.

 

A friend of mine In Yreka, CApainted this in the 60’s. He did such a big effort to get right and left sides identical that it burned him out on doing them.

 

At Paso 2001, West Coast Kustoms Cruisin’ Nationals

 

Paso 2003, no overall photos of the car.

 

Here’s some flake I’ve done , more lined up to come in for flake later in the year also . Just flaking a 68 Corvette convertible now that’s getting some stripes and candy . I can post those in a few weeks since it’s not so common to see a C3 getting flake anymore.

 

^^^Nice^^^

 

Jalopy, that looks like one that's local and the background looks familiar too.
AZ 89 just North of Chino Valley, South of Paulden.
