Love it man! Got anymore plans for it?

 

63CadGuy- Great job ! Did you use the darker red for a base, then laced with the red body color on top of that , then flake added to the clear ? I always have a difficult time sorting the process in my head.

Thanks.

Again great job !

 

Yes, just click the image. I believe it's Gasoline Magazines chief who owns it.

 

Rdemilt, I taped off the panels after I painted the van, then sprayed red flake, then covered the panels with the lace and then sprayed a darker red tinted clear through the lace at a low pressure, then cleared over the whole thing.

I still have to panel the roof and then it gets a full 70's red shag/panelling/bed in the back!

Kustom Linez.....
That is some of the nicest work I've ever seen, something to be very proud of for sure

 

Astounding !

I'd love to have a piant design like this on my Chevy II Wagon.

 

At one time I saw a Cadillac with a white flaked roof with what seemed like white flake patterns as well. I can't seem to think how this was done or find any pictures either. Does anybody think you paint a white base, make a pass of white flake, then layer the patterns with more white flake so that there is heavier flaked patterns within the first layer of flake? Does this even make sense?

 

gadzooks!!!

 

Yup, even the boys in Cali would be proud of that paint! NICE!

 

I can't imagine doing these kind of paint jops. Incredible!!

 

because it pops of from time to time i wonder if anyone know how to do this pearl effect

 

That's essetially a laminate applied by a place in Australia. Beautiful results, but expensive. My wife talked to a faux-finisher about creating that effect with paint and it would take a lot of work, and probably would not look as nice. Some of the pros on teh HAMB may have other ideas though

 

Wow. This Packard looks like a long lost Barris/Watson collaboration from the late 50's. I fucking love it.
