    That's cool. I would love to try something like that. It must be hard to match paint colors to get it right. How many hours did it take?
    What is it on?

    Can't you just buy a picture of a tiger and stick it under the clear coat?

    I'm just asking... for those of us who aren't artists.

    I'm always looking for the easy way out.:D

    Shameless question for a shameless plug.

    Nice.

    I try to airbrush about once a year. Then I realize why I only do it about once a year. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. I need to take a class or something, but I have no artistic talent at all so I talk myself out of it.

    Well, next new paint job, I know where to go.

    Ok Chuck when you going to show us pics of the finished cart man.

    The work looks great I am sure that is going to be one sexy cart when complete.

    Nice Tiger Chuck. Did you use AA or uro? I've been wanting to do a tiger using varigated copper and gold leaf to do the stripes and facial features and then airbrush the rest in, haven't got around to it but seeing your tiger reminded me. AL
