Art & Inspiration Candy, Lace, Flake, Flames... wanna see WILD custom paint...

^ I just ADORE the paint on it. Too bad on this unit; it was done by a company in Rome, Italy. I wish I knew of someone that can replicate this, as I really want this done. Just looks brilliant.

 

that is what i vision in my head of the bike i wish i could build
old army side car/madmax

 

Did the roof of My 63 Bird. Thanks Alan (Kustombuick), Jon and then Mike with help on the Cut & Buff.

 

Just some red flake over a red base , then clear . pretty simple process for the amataur painter .

 

here's a couple of little things i did this week.....sorry for the crappy iphone photo's :
pulleys for the Cad 331 and an old VW wing just for the hell of it....

 

larest work on fat berta

 

Sorry for the late response. Just saw this.

Anyways I did what 58 depala described first. You just have to make sure the lace is pulled tight, and the bottom layer of tape is on good. I have some pictures of masking the tank off, i'll try to find and upload them.

 

i paint a whole vw next week, would cool if u come over lol

 

This is a fun thread. I love the lace stuff...always have.I hope I will have something that it seems appropriate on one day, I would love to give it a try.

 

Love this old Nash gasser that turns up at local hot rod/custom shows every year.

Wish I had better pic's - lots of lace paint, tape and string technique, and "blow" paint...

.

 

soo many ideas on here awsome!

 

just got my paintwork back from Texas..

 

This may be a long shot, but anyone have any pictures of custom painted tool boxes? Looking for ideas to do mine..

 

My new Gasser......

 

A friend of mine did this for me . This is his first try at this type of work . The spider web is from a body stocking .

This one is cool. I saw it at Bowling Green 2010.

 

Here's a shot of mine,that I painted at the same time I was painting our o/t midget in '98........Rich

 

Here is a pic of the roof on my '55 Gasser.

 

R. Seghi,

Looking forward to seeing the reborn 55 in person.

 

Dude, I want to get it done and show it to you soooo bad. But as fate would have it just as I get ready to finish it my house needs a roof.

 

Sorry to hear about the house needing a roof. Watching the progress on the 55, it will be worth the wait.

 

Not as sorry as me dude. I'm most likely going to have to sell my Corvette to pay for it. In excess of $10,000. ouch

 

Ouch is right. Hope it all works for you.

 

I really dig it.

 

Ive been watching this thread for some time now, decided i needed to do something to contribute. I did these in the last couple days. Sorry they are OT for this forum but i wanted to do something small as this is my first attempt at flake and pinstripe, also dont have a roof that currently needs painting.

 

roof of my brothers 57 gasser...about 50 hours or masking etc

 

Dude, that looks like a rendition of the HOK (House of Kolour) Scarab Beetle. And I mean in a flattery way.
