    Here is the new paint sceen we will be running from here on out.
    You want to piss off the painter, tell him you want drips, nothing stright and brush brissles in the paint. NO computer made mask, no vinyl and all by hand. I drove to drink but I think it was all worth it.......
    What does the HAMB think.........................
    The first shot was computer generated to see what it would look like, after a few pops we came up with this........................

  13. I think it looks killer. The dog, however, does not seem as impressed.

    Looks Killer!
     
  25. God love ya for going with the hand lettered job! :D

    Plus your pictures tell a great story. Starts out with the vinyl job. It's OK. It's legible. But it's got no "oooomph", no heat, no soul. Then the brush job starts. The white base coat looks pretty good just by itself. Then the orange and green airbrush work. Ooooo! It's getting kind of muddy looking. Does this guy know what he's doing? All of a sudden there's a bit of drama and doubt. :eek: And then.... BLAMMO!!!! A clean black outline and a drop-shade! :cool: You suckered us in and fooled us. Turns out your sign painter knew what he was doing all along! ;)

    Get us some nice pics outdoors at the track!
