awesome!

love it

[SparksECM]

Love it! makes me all the more tempted to have a go at this myself.

[gotwood]

Looks great , you've got talent fella !

[Mystery Machine]

Good god that's amazing.

Like.....AMAZING!

This has got me thinking that I really want to have a go at doing one myself now. Thanks for inspiring me...and I'm sure lots of others too.

[Ratters]

that is brilliant mate

[tome30]

Thanks, it's wierd to be the inspiration on here rather than the inspired.

I'd honestly suggest having a go, it's cost me next to nothing. About £20 in total.

The pen I used was a Posterman, I picked up for £2.50 odd.

I'll bolt it to the car for a little while I think, but was intended just as a thing to do.

Would you be interested in selling at all? I fancy having something like that hanging in the new garage and there is no way I'm capable of anything like that...

[Copey]

Thanks.

Well of course commissions would be an honor, as long as you know what your getting. I'm no professional artist, just an IT Technician with a black marker, and it takes time as it's done purely when I've got a spare moment.

But if you let me know what you would like, which bonnet and general content, then I could have a go. Theoretically speaking.

Still need to see if I can clear coat this one without it running.

The car in your sig picture is a beauty. So much white, don't let me near that with a pen!!!

[Seth]

Mega!

I think this bonnet/panel painting is a proper modern equivalent of true, one off, bespoke customising

[ej48]

Fantastic art work!

Haha, thanks, imagine the design you could do on a Capri sized bonnet, would take a while to fill like

[skinnylew]

excellent work

[tome30]

Has anyone got any advice on clear coating the bonnet, I've got a can of lacquer, but its such a large area, how do I go about spraying it evenly?

[MrDay]

Thats wicked!

[monster]

Il say it again man, get some smaller designs submitted on threadless.com and i reckon with your talent you won't have difficulty being chosen which is $2000 per accepted submission!

[tome30]

I've tried threadless before, you need some real talent/luck to win.

Sprayed with clear lacquer today looking pretty good, will put on the car at the wknd maybe.

[monster]

Fair enough man, I think my mate got third time lucky. The payout was worth it though. And what I'm seeing on both bonnets you have posted display a lot of talent
