Great cover job! I really like the flame treatment! I have never seen it done that way.
Can you provide some more specifics on how you covered it?
Also what's the bottom look like?
THanks!

Thanks for the comments.
First I took a picture of all the parts with my digital camera. I then imported these into CorelDraw and created a paper size that would accomodate the full size profiles.
I then created the graphics to fit the imported profiles, and converted the vector files into bitmaps, pulled them into photopaint and created 8.5 x 11 pieces with a 1/4" overlap so I could trim them for alignment.
I took these .bmp and .jpg files to my local target copy center and used their computer and photoshop to send them to their color laser and print them on tranparent sticky back. Since the monokote is white, I used it for my paper background. After trimming the pieces I used the windex method to put them in place, so I could slide them around a bit to align them. Then I covered it all with a thin spray of krylon clear.
Here's the bottom
