Default Powder coating designs

Has anyone tried doing designs with powder coating? Like flames, etc...I gave it a shot, but had problems with the tape. The edges of the tape would peel back from the "flames" I just put down, allowing the flames to be kinda distorted and not follow the tape lines themselves. Any hints, tips, or tricks?? The tape I am using is the green translucent stuff, 1/8" to do the fine line taping, then fill in pieces for the rest. If you have any experience at all doing this, how intricate of a job can be done, or have you done. I'd like to see some pics of what you have done, just to give me some hopes. I see that some companies are doing it, but I have mixed reviews as to whether it is really powder or airbrushed, then a clear powder on top of the airbrushed design. Any ideas on that? Thanks, if ya got pics, email them to Fireblade74@msn.com please.....
