sorry Chris I got two smart assed answers cuz I suck at special effects but have paid dearly for a pro to do what I wanted on my motorcycle
first smart answer...search airbrush techniques...ghost skulls....dozens of you tubes to meander through
second...find your local starvin marvin motorcycle painter....Foose is big buck crazy expensive...Billy doing TeeShirts on the side when not doing a custom bike set of tin can be really worth the modest cost.....
