Hi.....this one is probably more for UK owners. Without giving too much away on my project.....does anyone know a UK painter that specialises in what they are calling "real flame" airbrushing. The guy I was going to use has let me down..for last time!! We've all dealt with their sort.....books and doesn't not show, promises the Earth ....but does not deliver. So I'm looking for someone else.... preferably in the Southern half of the U.K. I need a painter that can do this (see pic....if I can post it!!)....In a very similar colour as it happens and also on a mid blue back ground. He only has to do the flames....the Ford Deep Impact blue is in place......more details given away!! Doh! Thanks for any help you might be able to give.

...would you consider vinyl/wrap? Might it be easier to find someone local to you to apply them, and source the flames anywhere... (probably custom too). I have no connection to, nor knowledge of this company in the video link, but I thought it might be of interest. I would think if you provided some basic dimensions and colour palette....

Consider flying someone in for the job,   .....spendy, but is often done in the "hobby"

Thanks for your suggestions. Would not consider vinyl is a viable option. Wont be smooth with the surface so will trap polish etc and just wont look right on the car. The flames will be painted before final clear is applied. It the only way to do it IMO. There are folks in the UK who do it and I've found one potential painter/artist to do it. Not going to be flying anyone in if I can help it. That's money better spent elsewhere!
