Looks great Brandon! Are those water transfer decals? Awesome job.

I love doing visibles. Much less work than electrics.

Yes thats a water trasfer with 5 coats of clear sanded an buffed, you cant even feel it. I have to disagree that electrics are more work, I can do one in about 60 hrs as compared to 75 for a visable. This is the first visable I have done, ther was alot of metal work and man are those skins heavy gauge a body hammer is almost useless.
Thanks
Brandon

Thanks for all the complements. I use PPG products. Not much choice around hear only one paint store. I use Omnie base and Northstar clear. I get the Northstar from a freind in the concreate suply bussiness. He uses it to make stained concreat counter tops. It lays down better than anything I have used. Plus it is only $68 for a gallon and hardener, and reducer. I also want to thank Dave from vintage-motorworks for giving me the paint code for the green.
Thanks
Brandon

Great Job. I love the water transfer decal. I think they add more authenticity to the project. Would you mind sharing the code you used for the green, I like the shade and want to use it for a future project.
