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

This is a pic I found here in the Hamb a while back. I love this ride...

 

Check out the custom paint by Blue Moon Kustoms on one of our Model T tanks. An amazing job, lots of metallic effects - you can't believe how nice the paint is. (It's for sale)

Here's a couple more of the car I posted on page 2 of this thread. This was taken this summer at goodguys in columbus. BTW it's got BMW badges on it. Fugly, but definately wild.

 

are these the same ones hangin in the hard rock hotel in vegas

 

No, these are by Wayne Saunders, from Birmingham England, worked for years as a painter in the automotive concept car field, saw a flamed fish in Rodders journal, and was unable to get the guy to commit.. So he designed his own, made the molds etc... He has opened a Hotrod paint and body shop in Colorado called Alternative Automotive Design and is doing quite well, the fish are a sideline but cool as hell!!!! He also does woodgrain and did the rust patina on my 53 Poncho.. here are a couple pics of his latest. Hes from the same area as Steve from Limeworks..

 

KOOL thanks for the 411....nice to know about the woodgrain

 

Awesome thread!

 

I love the Fridge!!!

 

Paintjob or not that lil' Beemer Isetta is INSANE!

 

Who can forget the70's?

 

I remember seeing that at the last Mooneyes show,at the Sheriffs Academy,parked in the left turn lane,in the middle of the street! Got to be the same car...

 

You wouldnt think there'd be two like that bob...!

Heres some fish scales

 

I know this thread is about paint but I LOVE the grille treatment in the fastback!!!

Anyone know how they do it or what its called?

 

Those are drawer or cabinet knobs. It is an old custom trick.
Check out Aaron Grotes custom bubble top. the grill in that is also cabinet knobs.

So go to your local home improvement or hardware store and buy enough chrome cabinet knobs to fill your grill area. You will probably need some metal screened mesh to fill your grill area as well.

 

I thought that was probably it but it seemed too easy!

Kinda feel stupid (but on my way to the hardware store).

Thanks

 

that thing is sweet.!!

 

You wouldnt think there'd be two like that bob...!

Just my 2 cents
