It is with a heavy heart that I feel compelled to do this paint job for my sister's boyfriend. He lost his brother last month and so while I'm honored to do it I'm doing it with an extremely heavy heart.

The logos are iridescent purple and red. Flames are pearl blue. Will use pearl white to outline the autobot logo and a bright plain red for the backer. Decepticon side will be Grey or silver with a purple stripe to mimic Megatron

Decepticon logo masking removed and painted. Decided to do a riveted panel design on the decepticon side
