Default Opinion on Latest Mod

Got bored today and decided to finish a project I've had on the back burner for about 6 months now. I took the tube for the Frankentake IV I made and grinded circlular patterns in it. Then taped off a flame design and Plastidipped it. Below are the before, during and after photos. I think it turned out pretty good, I'm thinking I could have went closer to the filter with the flame pattern as there is still alot of metal showing. What's your opinion?

So here's the question on next steps,

1) It's awesome, leave it like this
2) Plasti Dip entire pipe black, i.e. remove flame look
3) Re-stencil flame pattern lower towards filter and do it again

Before


During


After

Thanks, yeah I thought of that as well, I wanted to try my hand with scoring the metal though. If I had a grinder I would actually try to draw flames with the grinder. Using the razor blade to remove the taped flames was a beeeeacch.

looks great...maybe put color over the metal...but other then that leave as is...with where it got placed the flames could be coming from either direction...

(edit...minor artist if anyone needs things like that done...not saying it would be perfect...but decent...)
