Black flock with flocked yellow flames. First try with this style, it didn't come out the way I had hoped. I think I am going to strip it down and start over, but this time I know what not to do.

I like it Stan. I wonder if you used a thin red flock line between the yellow and black, I think that would make it pop. Mark

Just a thought...But could you airbrush a little orange or red onto that pattern? I mean, would the flock accept a dye or a thinned transparent paint?

Thanks guys. I was going to add a red outline but it proved a bit harder than I thought so I went with all yellow, there isn't much size to the flames. I already stripped the handle and am going to do it again, I'll post the new pics when it's finished.
Sorry Bill but I don't think I'll be at the expo.
I think flock might take the paint but the paint wouldn't be as soft as the rest of the grip.

Stan i am really interested in your two tones - I know that Jim will now be actively pursuing the Flames Concept. I have done lots of single color grip sets but just have not spent the time on multi-color. Would you be kind enough to share some of your "Not To Do" list with us?

Mr. Steven's you have mail. Billy, I think EVA would have been easier, lol. I'm going to try one in EVA this winter also to see which I like better.

WOW!! Stan, I'm impressed. You actually said you would do something and DID IT!! Unlike me, lol. Nice job on both sets of grips, flocked & EVA.
