Basically this tank was a practice panel deal for my 31' ford Fuel Coupe project. I plan on doing the faded orange panel on both sides of the frame rails with the pattern going from outer rail to inner rail panels all over silver flake with a silver flaked motor, and a orange body barley orange kandy on the roof fading to so dark its almost black at the rocker. Yes I'm going for the gold with the next project car goal is to unveil it at Cobo Hall 2013 on chrome jacks with mirrors under it. Watch for progress pics this summer... Side note i'll be painting chopper tanks starting in February 1 a month random designs will be available. inquire at rdfl313@yahoo.com
I'm really proud of this. The summer issue of Hot Rod Deluxe featured Detroit Autorama this year. They came to Detroit with High Hopes of "True" classic customs and rods in "the basement" and what they essentially wrote was theyre is too many rubber rats and non trad cars with no style or class, and the cars they featured in the article were the best of the beasement along with the favorite traditonal show cars from upstairs. It's an honor that Me and Keven Carter made the cut in such a tradtional article....
A long time ago in a garage far far away I got certified in advanced auto refinishing, well since 1993 I have been building cars for FoMoCo and not shooting paint other than on my own personal cars. As of January 1st this year I have started BugSpray, I'm doing custom flake, panel, and candy paint on just about anything. Trying to focus on motorcycles and mid 60's lowrider type jobs but if it's paintable i'll try and shoot it for ya. I made up this lil blog page as internet photo album of my work so to speak and step by step's on some of my projects.
Look around and enjoy and if your lookin to get some work done or buy anything i have painted contact me at bugspray@worker.com
