I'm going to just use my airbrush as my painting too on tribals. I'm not good enough to freehand tribals yet. Nothing beats the good ole 1/8 3m for fine lines.

My "realistic" flames are going on the door panels(now painted black) and my rear pillars. I can't make up my mind about if I'm going to do any going up the glove box or not. I just wanted a tribal on my bottle, so it won't be freehanded.

man , i want a cover like that! VERY NICE CRAFTSMANSHIP, I WISH your body shop was closer to me, it is hard to find a high end painter around here. i dont know how you sanded it with out any scratch marks, good work. 418 is a great idea on the cover slow01z71!

Covers look great! Can't wait to see the finished product. As usual, I am sure it will look awesome.
