So far the compressor has worker great. It's a craftsman with a 6 gallon tank which I fill to around 140 psi and then I turn it off. I just regulate the pressure coming out to around 32 psi, that seems to be the best psi so far. Did some red flames last night and did not have to restart the compressor at all.

Ya, it's not easy and they didn't turn out great but looked similar to flames! I just drew a flame stencil on FFF and cut it out on the scroll saw, sprayed the outline in red and filled in with yellow, orange, white and a little black. Definately gonna take some practice before I attempt one of my planes. The good thing is that nobody has to see our first attempts, only our works of art.

Well, I was tired of practicing so I sprayed my first plane....and it turned out o.k. Ended up doing it free hand, the stencil thing was a pain in the butt. Looks more like ghost flames, when I spray the acrylic on foam the colors seem to fade quickly, I didn't use any green but it actually looks like camo flames! This is my new realtree flame design, would look cool on a quad. The bottom side will be white with bright yellow on one side and red on the other. Next time I will probably spray on a white base then use bright flourescent colors for the flames and then spray the black background around the flames??
