This is one of the coolest paint jobs I have seen.

Re: ★★★ THE BATTLECRUISER ★★★ (06-14)

Thanks guys!

I gotta say...when I pulled the masking and stencils off I thought...whoa...cool!...ha ha. :lol:

Normally I don't really like the way my paint jobs turn out, but the camouflage colors look pretty sweet.

Now beat it with a chain, and leave it in the rain... NOT! Looks good.

The stencil lines look somewhat thicker than originals.... what is your estimation? Still look fantastic though!!!!

man that looks terrible !!! :roll: :mrgreen:

Re: ★★★ THE BATTLECRUISER ★★★ (06-14)

I kinda goofed on the forks.

I painted them all olive green forgetting that there are the three lines that need to be done.

Looks like I'll have to spray them khaki and then apply the stencils and then spray it with olive again.

Do you think that spraying clear on it would darken the colors?

I really like the colors the way they are now and I also like the matte finish.

Re: ★★★ THE BATTLECRUISER ★★★ (06-14)

Matte clear. :|

 

[Rat Rod]

Re: ★★★ THE BATTLECRUISER ★★★ (06-14)

Yeah, but will it darken it all? :?

that Krylon "fusion" paint is the best Ive used from a rattlecan, i wouldnt feel the least bit worried about skipping the clear.
