hi, I'm wondering if someone could help me.

I am texturing my mazda car and I am working on the hood section. I want to put flames on the hood ONLY. I pelt mapped the car so I could take the hood section out and work on it in photoshop. I was successful in doing that. The trouble I come up with is putting back the flame texture(I created in photoshop) ontop my hood ONLY. When I drag and drop it from the maps channel, the flames appear on the whole car. I can't get it so it'll appear on the hood ONLY.

how can I achieve those results?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I attached a jpeg of what I am talking about.

create a separate "flames only" texture for your hood, if you're looking for the easy solution.

Otherwise, unwrap the whole object and just paint the flames on the hood part.
