skibum5545 Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 If you mean a realistic fire paint job, your best bet is a material finish, either poster or fabric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren wilson Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Years and years and years of practice with your airbrush. Mike Lavallee has been working at it for years... don't expect to be able to do that kind of work overnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
