thanks guys! i would add more color, but, as it sits, i really like it, im not too big on lots of crazy graphics, but it cant be plain either, i think these are just right for what i was going for..

joe231 · 04-15-2010, 08:25 PM

Beautiful!!!!

trixter99 · 04-15-2010, 08:51 PM

I think that you are very talented at painting, but I am not a fan of the green flames they dont seem to flow vey well.I'm not picking on you this it just my opinion. I like all the colors and the two tone lay out just not the flames, but you know what the say about opinions and assholes everyone has one.And once again I think you have skills.

Thanks for the compliments guys!
And no worries trixter! What would the world be without opinions? There are a few people who tried to convince me nt to do graphics..but I kouldnt stand a plain truck..always wanted something like this since I was way young, got the chance to do it so why not, so I went subtle, consideering how I went on the camaro it is subtle to me

but came out great and I am very pleased with it, again, thanks for thee compliments!

Once again...I think I said that before...the big pics look great. Get it all cut & polished so when that rain stops we can really see it. You know, in the SUNLIGHT!

Polish it before you unmask it all. It makes life alot easier.

.....too late.....lol. we were always taught here to put it together, then buff, idk why, i usually mask the windows and stuff up anyways, compound is a pita to clean!

Driveway Dreams · 04-16-2010, 12:15 AM

It sucks to clean. Plus if you polish before you build, you have less things to catch your buffer pad on.
