Since the bygone days of the '40s and '50s hot rod era, we've seen traditional flames decorating just about everything you could imagine. Since then, flame styles have naturally diversified and now designs range from the traditional to subtle ghost flames to elaborate overlapping tribal flame patterns and beyond.

Many have tried to reproduce the look of real fire using fades from yellow to red with shadowed licks for a more 3D effect...but never before has there been flames with such realism and fury as you will see here...

Introducing Lotten Boyz Customz Realistic Flames, an airbrush technique so real you can almost feel the heat. Lotten Boyz Customz head painter Eric Lotten is the son of a firefighter. His brother is a firefighter and several of his close friends are firefighters. One could say he is certainly no stranger to fire and the anatomy of flames. Combine this knowledge of fire with several years in the autobody repair and paint industry and you have the makings for another realistic flames contender. Inspired by the realistic flames of Mike Lavallee, Lotten Boyz Customz has become a source for realistic flamed accessories and realistic custom flame jobs for the "working man." The goal of Lotten Boyz Customz is to bring the excitement of realistic flames into your own reality. 

Many hot rodders agree that true hot rods have big powerplants and flames abundantly displayed on their hoods and fenders. As a growing number of custom hot rod enthusiasts have turned their attention to the traditions that describe the phenomenon of custom automobiles, the subject of flames has never burned brighter.

Today flames appear on almost anything that can be painted. There is an entire industry devoted to flamed clothing, flamed accessories, flamed gifts, almost anything you can imagine has been set on fire. Even the descriptions of flamed paint are a language all their own. There are Trad (traditional) Flames, Tribal Flames, Seaweed Flames, Interlocking and Overlapping Flames, the Ohio Look, and the double-take authenticity of realistic flames.

Even though flamed paint jobs have been around for 60 years, never before has there been a technique with such realism and fury as the realistic flames painting technique. Realistic flames have most certainly given a new twist on an old passion of automotive customizing. Much of which has manifested in the growing number of television programs about cars and how to modify them. The ever-growing market of realistic flame enthusiasts can't seem to get enough of the realistic flamed paint jobs.
