Unplanned Flame Jobs- who's done 'em?

My bud revealed the number he did on his wife's new ride, really sa-weet 2-tone dark red and silver. The front hood has yellow-gold flames. When painted it, he reached the front hood and found himself running out of the red. So, he taped off some flames.
The job looks so killer, you never would've guessed it was.... Unplanned...
Was yours, or have you known any flames or scallop jobs that were born for similar on-the-spot reasons?

 

something ive never admited! but the flames on my 56 in it's previous paint were actually an after thought!
after painting it(my first candy job) i had a few places that were showing "tiger stripes" ,they were hard to see,but looking at it under certain lighting and directions they showed up !,so that is why my 56 got flamed! haha

 

My '63's scallops were planned but the color was up in the air. I ordered a quart of white pearl but then found myself spraying them in a gold I had on the shelf. The flake was an add-on too.

 

my ranchero got flamed cause some jackhole decided to key my car

 

A freind of mine was repainting his truck black.......he wanted some pearl in the paint for a subtle effect, so I gave him some blue and purple pearl to shoot in the clear, saying don't use too much.
I get a call the next day, he had put ALL of the pearl in a quart and it turned his truck Blurple! Hahaha....So I went over with my fine line tape and masked off some flames for him and he reshot the black....
His truck now has Blurple flames....haha...looks good too...but definitely wasn't the original plan.

 

mid 90's I had a car done for my daughter's 16 birthday. I was joking with the guys who built the car about putting flames on it. I showed up one day to square my bill away and found it looking like this. I just love the way it looks!

I know it is not a traditional rod but I think it fits the thread. I still have the car, no longer Pink, no more flames.

 

I had a fuel line come loose on an old bug one time.......Oh, you're not talking about that kind of flames are you......never mind.

 

Watched a cat run away from a burning building one time( the building got hit by lightning and was burning pretty well when I got there)- the cat may have been part of the start of the fire- its burning fur caused a real flame job.( it died of its injuries.)

 

I painted a car rattle can black and flamed-used shelf contact paper as a mask.drew on the flames and cut them out,pasted on car.Whole job cost $10.98,nine of which was wal-mart paint.Lasted a good long time

 

Not the best pic of it, but all I had with me was the cell phone (and a shop lamp, just outside the garage). Pimpin'. Good stories.

I had a 66 chev supersport nice paint but started to get lots of rock chips. so i just taped off the front got some nice flames and hid the rock chips. sold the car and about 10 years later found the hood at a swap meet. guy said the car rusted out( minnesota) and he saved the hood

 

I flamed the back of a 55 Chevy when I blew the gas tank up. It turned out kind of dark and bubally.

 

Thats really not even funny, just proof of what kind of character you must be.

 

First guy says"my dog ate a whole peach, but p***ed the pit"
Second guy says" I poured gas on my cats ***, and he p***ed a motorcycle"

 

HAHAHA!!! I had the same thing happen to me. HUGE friggin explosion, scared the **** outta me. As soon as i smelled the gas, BOOM!!!

 

I like kitty cats
