== [[Film]] ==
* In [[Michael Bay|Michael Bay's]] ''[[Transformers (Filmfilm)|Transformers]]'' films, Optimus Prime has red flames painted on his blue chassis, letting him keep the iconic red-chest-windows look.
** This wasn't the first time Prime had flame detailing--his popular Generation 2 Laser Optimus Prime toy featured smoldering details on the front and ''a giant portrait of Prime wielding a flamethrower'' on the sides.
* Subverted in ''[[Gran Torino]]'' where Thao Vang Lor gets the titular car on the condition that he doesn't "paint any idiotic flames on it like some white trash hillbilly..."
Line 29:
 
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* Dr. House's [http://www.fashionablecanes.com/3452.html cane], in ''[[House (TV series)|House]]''.
* Eddie McLintock's [[Cool Car]] in ''[[Reno Nine One One911|Reno 911!]]''
* ''[[Myth Busters]]'', with Tory welding a flame-shaped metal panel on the [[The Alleged Car|Pontiac Fiero]] they were using for the "Car Skip" myth:
{{quote| '''Tory''': You know what would make this car more awesome? ''Flames!'' 'Cuz everybody knows that cars with flames are more awesome!}}
* Alton's ''[[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|stand mixer]]'' in ''[[Good Eats]]'' has flames painted on it.
* One episode of ''[[3rd Rock Fromfrom the Sun]]'' had Dick and Mary get into an [[Escalating War|escalating prank war]]; Dick took advantage of the fact that he spoke Spanish and Mary didn't to tell her mechanic that she wanted a complete overhaul, including flame paintjob and horn that plays "La Cucaracha". We sadly [[Take Our Word for It|don't get to see the results]], just the look of abject horror on Mary's face when her car returns.
* ''[[Kamen Rider Fourze (TV)|Kamen Rider Fourze]]'s'' Fire States has flame art on parts of his armor. There's also some on his schoolbag and shoes.

== [[Video Games]] ==
* Bowser's monster truck in ''[[Mario Kart (Video Game)|Mario Kart]]: Double Dash!!'', the "Koopa King", has some flames painted on the back. Add six tires with studded rims for the full-throttle [[Badass]] effect. The "Flame Flyer", a heavyweight kart in ''Mario Kart Wii'', is an even better example.
* The leopard jeans from ''[[No More Heroes]]'' are dark blue and have flames embroidered on the side. Their item description says this:
{{quote| ''Everyone knows adding flames to something makes it cooler.''}}
Line 57:
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* In ''[[Futurama (Animation)|Futurama]]'', Cubert claims that adding flame decals to the [[Cool Ship|Planet Express ship]] will make it go faster. His reasoning?
{{quote| '''Cubert:''' I'm twelve.}}
* In ''[[My Life Asas a Teenage Robot]]'', Jenny prepares for a party by having red and orange flames painted on her feet and calves.
* A recurring element of Alex's [[Unlimited Wardrobe]] in ''[[Totally Spies]]'' is a black shirt with a fire motif in the middle.
* On ''[[Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends (Animation)|Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends]]'', Bloo wants to paint Mac's soapbox car in hot-rod flames, but Cheese wants bunnies instead. After much arguing, they compromise and paint ''flaming bunnies'' on the car.
{{quote| '''Bloo:''' I don't even know you anymore.<br />
'''Mac:''' Shut up. At least the bunnies are on fire. }}
* In an episode of ''[[The Venture Brothers (Animation)|The Venture Brothers]]'', Hank and Dean get [[Robot Buddy|H.E.L.P.eR]] a flame job.
* Ramone from ''[[Cars]]''.
* Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime from ''[[Transformers Generation One1]]''.
* In the ''[[Mega Man (Animationanimation)|Mega Man]]'' cartoon, Fire Man has, appropriately enough, a flame pattern on his blasters.
