what kind did you use?

 

sorry, I went to a paint shop and they mixed up some HOK gloss white, and a can of clear in w/a bunch of HOK blue ice pearl in it... 12oz spray can of each, $34 total

 

Here's my welding hood I just painted

 

Wow! Fantastic fade job on those cad pulleys. That is the exact shade of blue I have been looking for. I have been searching through paint chip books trying find that color. Do you happen to know what the color is called (becides blue) or the car it comes on?

 

hey donut what a f..word great helmet, here is my last roof i did

Damn Bro, you're gonna weld in style ! that welding hood is the shit

 

okay... so i've painted a buncha bike sets and i painted my 52 chevy complete, but i still wanna know....

HOW THE HECK do you guys tape and paint the roofs on these these jobs??? are you all 8 feet tall or do you have a set of scaffolds or what?

 

Yeah, they're all 8ft. tall Zombies with four arms that will eat your face off if you get too close.

Scaffoldings, milk crates, whatever you need. Trunk of your wifes car.

 

Still needs candy, should look good.

 

Heh. That's what i figgered. at 5'7" i had to buy a set of utility scaffolds just to be able to reach the center of the roof on my 52 which was well lowered. even at that i had to use a little 'technique' to lay the clear in evenly. i'm imagining a catwalk or something like it for some of these jobs. ..

 

I use 2 step ladders and a 2X6 if I need it but otherwise its just the ladders.

BTW I am only 5'11"

 

Here is a helmet I did not to long ago, I really dig yours though.

 

Here's a couple pics of a Starlite Nomad at the Culver City Show and one of my Stude that is 'classic' but needs to be re-done. I've got champagne taste n beer money, anybody wanna practice their Watson styling skills on a massive canvas?

 

thanx for the Starlite Nomad. Never enuff pics saved of them bad ass rides
But dude, that wagon is sick! Need to see more of it. Love the seaweed flames. 'Is it the same of your avatar?

 

White flake jobs anybody??
I have this idea of doin the whole car in white flake with 100% coverage, the one that resembles crushed glass, and then do some fades in a color flake on the hardest body lines w/ a lesser coverage so that the white is still visible under the color. mmh, yeah thats a fade, dooh!
Or mixin 20/30% of colored flake in the white flake to give it a pearl-a-like effect and do the whole thing w/out any accents.
Whatcha say?

 

Thanks bonez. Yeah, it's the same as my avatar and I have more pics in my profile.

 

OK, that thing is wild! Lookin way better on the whites, and some recessed inserts on the grille would make it work even better, but i guess its your long time project. Lovin it.

 

Keep it coming! I like this....

 

Here's a few more from the same show.

Heavy flake on this 62 Impala
Heavy flaked flames on this satin Merc
Heavy flamage on this Buick. These were all pretty incredible in person

 

just plain killer. just looked thru all 54 pages. took awhile but was really worth it. awesome

 

One of my trucks

 

Sorry for the stupid large pics havent figured out how to get them smaller yet. Got a new pic account.

 

Wow ... just wow !!

 

DUDE! That thing is Out there fuckin awesome! i could do w/out the scallops but to hell w/ it, i'd grind the wheel bearing off of it. Need more pics/info on it.

 

Bad ass

 

I have been thinking of the same thing for a while. Aboloney (sp?) white with some pagan gold fades......
