I like this pic:

The only thing you could have done a hair better was the fade from the dark blue to light blue. But who the hell am I to say.

well if i could ever find some good light to take a pic it would show that it fade teal/blue/purple it looks alot better in person this is the 2nd body i have painted in about 6 years. right now i have to use a spray gun for the bulk of the body. i kinda screwed up my heavy spray tip on my air brush I'm waiting on parts though.

Its a nice paintjob..Better than i could ever do thats for sure !

It's better as far as the graphics that I could do. I count myself lucky just putting pinstripes on my bodies.

Great job Paintbug. I like the artwork on the hood and sides. I am assuming you used a paintmask for them?

i made them from a modified template. it took 3 hours just to mask the body

Hear that paintbug, sometimes I spends more in prep than I do in paint.

Nice job! Good color choices for the fade.

On photgraphing your ride ... My pics come out totally lousy unless I take them outdoors on fairly bright days and not in direct sunlight.

I've noticed also that natural light makes pictures look a whole lot better! Nice work on the masks!

HB actual painting is only 5% of the work. prep is 95% doesn't matter how good (or not good) of a painter you are..if you suck @ masking the whole job looks like crap. I was a good 1.1 painter prepper but havent tried my hand @ these things yet..
