Default Ghost flames?

I'm still set on black, so this doesn't count as changing my mind.

I'm letting the secret out in exchange for some poll feedback. I'm really serious on this one, I've already done the research. My mom is a professional air brushing artist and I've already gotten her to agree to come in after the base coat is sprayed to do this.

I've always wanted Candy Cobalt Blue Ghost Flames over Black paint. I asked a few friends what they thought about flames and the consensus was that they are gay. But I love them, so I'm curious to see if I'll be the black sheep of the motorgen cruises if I do this.

The plan would be, HOK black base, candy cobalt blue ghost flames, blue pearl in a clear base, then clear coat. Please vote seriously, I really want feedback on this one.

Exactly like this without the silver flames:


This is what the blue pearl effect looks like over a white base, can't find a pic of it over a black base:

The Pearl Coat in my opinion would be a little too "Street Rod", where as your car has more of a Mad Max vibe. JMO. Flames? Who doesn't Like flames. I'd probably make them a little more subtle.
