  1. not gonna lie, half way thru i was thinkin “this thing looks like shit” but that’s why an artist usually doesnt wanna show the art till its complete. final product came out sick. nice job!!!!

  2. There’s a bolt in the front and a bolt in the back. just remember to disconnect the hoses and wiring harness before removing it.

  3. pretty bad ass thats the same thing i wanna do to my vulcan 2k how do you get the black to show through more

  4. Could do with some vein details. Look up some old fashioned marble-ising effects. It’s always a bit hit and miss with this type of stuff. Probably looked good when it was all on though.

  5. That looks really good. I never would have thought plastic wrap would do that. I have never done this before but I think the spots that got hit with the plastic wrap last looked the best so maybe wait an extra 15 seconds before hitting it with the plastic wrap.

  6. I can’t believe you got rid of the orange peel that looked really rough with that orange peel effect but that cleaned up NICE!

  7. I hope that was auto grade can primer and not just the everyday primer found everywhere,,it will start breaking down after time and the paint job will go to shit,,just FYI for future jobs,,the everyday primer is not compatible with auto paint,,auto grade primer in a can will run between $25-$35.
