Now for a happy little tree over here in the corner, I'm getting a Bob Ross vibe from this episode. My artistic ability stops at stick figures. Hell my paint by numbers shit looked fugly, there's no way i would even attempt this so props to you bro.

[@1ChadKeegan]

@@BS-Outdoors1320 it’s definitely a challenge covering all this ground I’ll be happy to create some smaller pieces on the truck

Hi, Chad. The Frankenstein 2 looks so cool. Well done on your painting skills. I can't wait to see the finished truck. I would really like a picture of Frank 2 when its finished. It will look great on the road.

[@danielseelye6005]

I think I remember seeing on some of those restoration shows on TV some pinstripers would have a stick with a soft ball at the end to support their painting hand at the wrist when going at it.

[@1ChadKeegan]

@@danielseelye6005 I’d believe it but that’s just to much for me to have in my hands

Watching from Australia at least you can say you did it yourself the pinstripe and paint I’m a owner driver myself I have a 1999 k104 aerodyne myself it’s not easy working on the truck but saves money

[@1ChadKeegan]

@@damiennapier9492 Absolutely 👍🏻 🍻

[@chadtanner]

I have no idea what I’m talking about but. Get some more metal flake to mix in with the clear. Spray that spot or any other spots missing the metal flake. Then switch back over to just the regular clear. To spray your final coat or first coat whatever. Just a thought,.truck looks great though as is.

[@1ChadKeegan]
