All Donewow ding im suprized ya cant afford ta send the wife ta welding school so she can clean up your popcorn welds nice job on the flames an your wife was right the first layout looked like crap:P truck looks awsomeB)
hey whats with the box fans in the one pic???forget ta make an both payment:woohoo:
that was before i was a spolied rich kid:laugh: didnt have a booth back then. just a home depot attic fan in the wall boxed in and run down to the floor. box fans were for just a little extra umph;)
love the mask jobs ding …. would rather have seen some real flames on there , but , looks like a sweet ride bro B)
is the main color black or blue? just wondering cause candy doesnt change black, helps avoid big tape lines by unmasking artwork first then squirt candies over black.
NOTE: you painters probably knew this tip but some didnt i would bet:)the truck was black. but candy will change a black paint job. its subtle but there is a diff. on small art work its not noticable in the surrounding area but it would have been on that large of an area. i used candy toners mixed in clear base so the edge was not that signifacant.

well i guess i stand corrected i have only done this on bikes not large things, flames look really good style.what do you expect for a frame guy:P . thanks for the compliments
you can get a nice deep dark cherry black going over it with red candy. very subtle but nice. i was actually thinking about doing that but didnt feel like candying the whole truckya ever consider laying 3 sets over the top of one another ding??? ive done that an it gives it a nice 3d effect i sure like that flame layout though! did one yrs ago with the multi tones yrs back an it made for an pretty cool effect:)

those were the “garage” days;)Nice work Dinger.. I always have problems getting the flames to look uniform.. I can go for a bit, but the larger area I get into the harder it gets for me.. Dont do them often, so maybe thats part of it:blush: Great work though.. and looked to be super clean shot in your garage brotha
