Default What to airbrush on it?

I would like to paint something on my SS exhaust "Echo tip", and I know that I'm the artist in all, but I would like to get some ideas from you guys. Plus sometimes we artists run out of ideas too. :dunno: I've got a few ideas, but I thought I would ask for your opinions too. Not sure if I want to do a black base coat on it, cause if I sell it, then I wouldn't match some other truck colors. So I was thinking of a metallic Silver base coat so it will sparkle in the sun with some "true fire" flames and an SS or a chevy logo on it. Once I get it all done, I might sell it. So, if you all could give you input, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Terry

I don't think I've ever seen "fishtail" tips on a truck....and I know I havent seen any painted. True flames might look OK.
