If this is for me, I only have about 3-4 total. And today about another 2 . I don't remember the time on all the flake and clear and color sand lol... It's a process . I get lost in the fun and loose track of time.

Does anyone have a picture of a paint job called woven basket. Thats what i believe its called thanks

 

If this is what you are thinking about, it's not paint. It is actual cane basket weave. Started on coach-built cars like this Rolls and eventually worked its way down the line. This Mini was custom made for Peter Sellers. And to keep it relevant to this thread, was a rare option (maybe dealer installed?) on 1953 Plymouth convertibles as door trim! I've only ever seen one and can't find a picture, sorry.

 

Saw these two items in a local guys stash.

 

man a lot of these are awesome and I don't know how some of you do it I was thought the basics hot rod flames and such and some basic air brush(this is all of 10 years ago and I have not picked up a paint gun or air brush in years) this is some inspiration for me

 

bump for reference

 

This is what I came up with

/\ That looks good, TU28. I was going to suggest that the basket weave was mostly about shading, but wasn't sure that was what you were going after.

 

been busy few months for me. low n brow frisco peanut tank

Elspock! Nice work as usual. On that second tank, did you depart from your usual silver flake/silver base ? It appeared to have more blue in it.

Here's mine, flame job done 32 years ago and still fits into todays scene even better than it did then. Pastels & Graphics were big back then. Nostalgia was new!

 

Hotdog nailed it!

You certainly did nail it. Wild job.

 

Practicing some stuff on a tank before I do a little on my car. I won't post anything else of a non car related thing. Lol

yes it was. actually color flake has always been my cup of tea till the last yr. i used a toyota blue base and then a blend of 5 different blue flakes

 

Car looks killer! I see a ton of taping, that must have taken hours.

 

cooler for a homie.

 

Hope this posts. Bagger I taped and flamed with a 4" foam roller, 1-Shot with flattener, and then striped with a Mack sword brush. Had to use what I had. Folks don't believe it was rolled.
