flame job

Hot rod decoration

A flame job is a custom paint design on a vehicle—typically a hot rod or motorcycle—featuring stylized flames, usually sweeping back from the front fenders or hood.

The style evokes speed and aggression: He spent three grand on that flame job.

By extension, any flame-patterned decoration: a bowling ball with a flame job.
