ill post up some pics of mine when its done. im using automotive basecoat clearcoat with pearl flake. i just shot the base and a coat of clear sealer today. tomarrow will be the ghost logo.
flat black is cool though. maybe ill kick you my silkscreen when im done with it so you can put your labeling back on.

Labels are for pussies.

Just kidding.

Good lookin out though, if you get that done, let me know. I'd like to see some pics.


This is just the basic flat shit, but I really like the fact that if you don't know how to use it, you can't touch my shiz now.

the pics look sloppy and uneven, but I think thats reflections from the case lid. but the finish came out almost satin, the exact same feel as the original coat. I painted my tec 12's too. they look way better black as well.

ill post up some pics tomarrow.

and labels aint necessary. i could use the shit blindfolded. i just think it looks more professional with it. and since i know how to screen. i figured ****, why not. once i got the screen made it will be cake for you to do it too.

I hope that comes out well bruh, this is the type of hype that makes me want to flip my colors even more....I might do this in the very near future.....Also I like the way you stated that if someone doesn't know how to use it they can't touch your piece...good luck tho fam

I'm thinkn of some color schemes and ideas already...lol

heres a couple pics from today. one after i shot the graphic and another after a coat of clear. now i just need to make my screen and its golden.
i decided to put some candy dye into the clear with red pearl flake instead of just doing a ghost pearl.

EM that blue and white looks hella clean. i like it. is that the dry transfer method?
no hard feelings on that other thread man.

tarbaby i made a stencil for the logo and shot it on. the screen is really easy to make though. the right fabric, photo reactive mastic and transparency sheets. thats pretty much all you need.

nah no hard feelings.. im not sweating it as the reader is only 17 bucks..

i painted a 2000 too that i cant seem to find the pics of.. and yes it is dry transfer that was hand placed.. a very tedious process..
