Take this for what it's worth, but you will notice a distinct lack of feedback since you started posting videos. Most forum readers do NOT want to take the time to watch them, myself among them. Give us some decent photos and a brief description and you will see a lot more interest in your work.

ls it leopard skin? lf so, it would be VERY tedious, but paint it orange/yellow & dot with black, fading to brown Sharpies. Bart. BTW, l was laughing at my ineptitude, not your posting.

Wow! Almost impossible to do in scale. White flocking & dry brush red, orange & yellow? You might actually be able to use the small scale to your advantage: perhaps the tri-colors would be recognizable enough as fire that the absence of flame patterns wouldn't really matter?

I couldn't get the pattern repeat exactly right, but maybe this will help. copy, print, cut it out and glue it down.

Yepper, I'd see if one of the guys on here would be willing to print a couple seat covers out for ya. I'd offer, but I don't have a working printer these days. But I'd bet someone would do it, especially if you sent them the decal film for their printer.

Oh, and cool project. Glad you switched to pics.
