RE: What paintjob is best
Geez, I'm really not utilizing my photoshop at all. I should really take a class or something.
I like the black with the bright flames. How about some racing stripe patterns with different color combos. And here's a flame combo you missed, it's all about the chrome. [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/gallery/galleryCat.cfm?memberID=94905]My Gallery[/link]

What's this obsession with flames? I think it looks tacky.

.Everyone is entitled to their opinion though, just not here (JK). I have however, seen flame styles that I was not too keen on. You also have to know how to paint flames, choppy, square straight lined flames don't appeal to me. I like the rounded swooping long tipped style kinda like the Suburban on top[8D]
Just my Opinion/2 Cents/Whatever

how can you say flames looks tacky. u need to go to some real car shows and look at the real nice paintjobs there. its supposed to make it look mean and just plain awsome at the same time. but i guess you hav your own opinion
and yeah i agree with big mike i like the long tips of the flames too

Difference of styles. USA- big and flash. UK- more understated. I don't think flames make a car look "awesome" or "mean" I think they just look garish. and having 12 litre MT for crusing around streets. Gimme a Caterham Superspor anyday over a gas guzzier SUV/Monster Truck t :-)
I think the TVR finish looks awesome. Anything more in a RC car and it looks like a radio shack toy (and horrible on full size cars)

RE: What paintjob is best
I'm a little confused, are we talking about RC cars, or real cars?
"Difference of styles. USA- big and flash. UK- more understated."
Because I personally have seen maybe 2 cars actually driving around with flames on them in my 32 years of life.
I would have to say the 99.9% of cars here are pretty much 1 color.
And I'm not really sure what you mean by "understated" small? I know there's alot of shoeboxes driving around over there.
