A customer brought his bike tank and fenders to us becasue the last “painter” he dropped them off to did a horrid job attempting to paint some flames on them. Not only did the flames not even look right shape wise, the prep looked like it was done with 80grit prior to base coat, the base was so thick when it peeled the pinstripe for the flames, it was a 2-3 mill high edge that would never cover with clear, luckily he took them back in time from that guy and brought them to us. As we DA’s them down, the paint was so thick and so wrong in all ways, it wasnt even dry yet! We worked our magic and got them stripped, prepped and in sealer. Then I shot a black base, dusted on the first coat of the flake he picked out, dusted a shot of black lightly over that to tint the first layer of flake (so they looked more gun metal than chrome), then dusted on some more flake, and shot 5 layers of good clear! When I say dusted on, the flake was so big it wouldnt shoot out our 2.2 primer gun, so it was coat the parts in intercoat, then take a hand full of flake and use the guns air to blow it on the parts from a few feet away! OldSkool stuff right there! I came out looking like I was at a rave party for a week. :rofl Here is the tank cured, wetsanded and polished to glass. The pop outside in the light is awesome. if you look at the edge of the paint, the sun hits the flake and it looks like it is above the clear, like dust laying on the surface. ![http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSCN0302.jpg](http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSCN0302.jpg) ![http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/20120311_180455.jpg](http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/20120311_180455.jpg) ![http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/20120311_180504.jpg](http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/20120311_180504.jpg) ---

painted a CF trunk for a EvoX. Faded the lip into bare CF for a little extra touch. ![http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSCN0320.jpg](http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSCN0320.jpg) ![http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSCN0319.jpg](http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSCN0319.jpg) ![http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSCN0318.jpg](http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSCN0318.jpg) Pushed/pulled the AWD donor car in for Dave and tore into it. Dude, what a mess. Instead of counting broken bolts, we found it easier to count bolts that actually came out! Bolts were frozen into bushing sleeves, studs broke off the body, a turbo bolt snapped off, lift arm went through the rotten rocker, head gasket must have been bad it dumped some nasty coolant out, over all no fun. BUT, the parts we needed are good. Trans, most of the front end, fuel tank, rear end stuff looks ok (still have to take it off the shell) and the only non-rusted underside of the shell was the 2 drive shaft carrier bearing supports I cut the spot welds off and peeled off without issue! ![http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSCN0321.jpg](http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSCN0321.jpg) ![http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSCN0322.jpg](http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSCN0322.jpg) ![http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSCN0323.jpg](http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSCN0323.jpg) ![http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSCN0324.jpg](http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSCN0324.jpg) ![http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSCN0325.jpg](http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSCN0325.jpg) ![http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSCN0326.jpg](http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSCN0326.jpg) ![http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSCN0327.jpg](http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSCN0327.jpg) ![http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSCN0328.jpg](http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSCN0328.jpg) ![http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSCN0329.jpg](http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSCN0329.jpg) ![http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSCN0330.jpg](http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSCN0330.jpg) ---
