Hey guys, thanks for the opinions.

However does anyone have pics of any Dattos with any type graphic designs on them.

I have tried playing with designs on PAINTSHOP etc, but theyre aint the best.

Nice colour dude, very similair to my car's colour.

However, besides the different look I'm wanting, as you might know,
these cars are old, they have picked up many tiny dents over the years, and I dont want to start grinding and Bodyfilling much.
These Hail type dents show very easily with Metalic, base coat paints, and the last thing I want is to see these little dents especially in the sun.
So, The need for graphics, put a break up in what one sees on the car and these tiny little dents are not so noticable.

dont do the flames, spend the cash on more prep work for a smoother finish, youl be happier in the long run.
you can always get flames decaled on later to see if you like them first

I agree, that on late model cars, like our Datsuns, the softer flames go better, but on cars that are ACTUALLY old, the high contrast flames [red & yellows over a black base] look much better. The original idea was to have the flames coming from the hood louvers on the side of the clamshell hoods. This was to suggest that the motor was so high performance hot, it was on fire.

Now we are playing with modern cars, but the classic flame job is still with us, but expressed in more subtle ways.

Suggestion
Go with unfamilia's advice & spend the money on fixing the imperfections instead of trying to disguise them. A quality plain finish will win out over a cheap, or second rate, glitzy one any day.
