Just finished my first of 2009

I just finished this Pro-Line Hardrive body for the 3.3 Revo. I am getting a slow start since my injury, it's only my first of 2009.

I like the bed area. Is that like a darkened silver over a metallic flake?

 

[NCNitro]

Thanks Josh, actually I misted over the rivets with Pactra Acryl transparent smoke, then used Parma Faskrome Satin for the silver. It looks nothing at all like chrome, but it is a wicked cool silver.

 

[Lessen]

Yeah, it is pretty slick lookin' for sure.

Looks awesome Joe. Good to see you're feeling well enough to get behind the brush. I have to confess, that Pactra Transparent Smoke is probably the most used color in my box now. If you look at that 5B I just did, that's how I made that gunmetal color. It's a coat of Smoke, a coat of silver and then backed in black. Plus I hear it does an awesome job as a window tint.

Thanks Jeff. That transparent smoke is what I use for all my shading, I always have a bottle on hand. For window tint I LOVE Spaz Stix window tint, it looks like real tint, it goes on real nice and even too.

It felt good to finally be able to paint again, it's been too long, now that this ones done, I have a betty body laying around I have been trying to come up with a cool scheme for. It's pretty painful for me to get up and down the stairs to the basement, but I really missed painting and wrenching.

That 5b lid kicks ass too bud, nice work.

All I can say is wow! That is one slick paint job, Joe! I too like the smokey silver on the bed, but I really dig the overlapping flames!

Just like all your other work. Absolutely INTENSE!
I sure am glad to hear you can make it to the shop again. Your days will get easier from now on. Good luck to you.
