Nope just a nice sunny day gave a nice reflection off the chrome. Love the skull on your latest; has a really great 3D look.

Very cool. I like the colors and the graphics. I have a question though and please don't take it wrong. Just wanted to make a suggestion is all. Did you intend to the hood to have a faint coloring?

Hey Mike E,
Thanks for the comments, no i didnt intend the fade on the front, I picked up some static and its drawn the orange into some areas on the front but it looks worse in the pic, you cant see it from a foot a way lol

I think I need to pick so body prep up from Jon Miller, either that or I'm getting my anti-static wrist strap out and attaching it to the back

I have had that happen a couple of times to me and I never knew what was causing it.

Can you explain more about the static and how to correct it? Is there a Jon Miller product or something, I'm not familiar with that?

you get static effects when trying to fade in large areas. basically, the airflow of the paint flowing over the body creates a static charge that grabs all the airborne mist (sometimes referred to on here as "ghost farts").

Jon's prep spray (rcs graphix)will de-energize the body and allow for a cleaner job. It's not designed just for static, but is certainly a viable option. Although, until you can get some- water will work too.

Well Lidz summed it up in a blink , top guy and great tip about the water, Jon Miller is the guy posting above me and he does all sorts of paint stuff, liquid mask, paint and the body prep I mentioned earlier.

Lidz that work is simply beautiful, nice work indeed!!
