BKcustoms Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 (edited) Every once in a while I get the urge to do a wild paint job on something. This time the candidate was a 62' Impala that had some paint issues with it's last paint job. I've been wanting to build a lowrider for a while so I decided to try out a roof pattern on it. After hours of taping and spraying I ended up with this. The plan is to make it sit on airbag suspension with Pegasus wheels. Oh and I've decided to name it "Playing With Kandy" since that's exactly what I was doing with the paint job. Thanks for looking! All comments/criticisms welcome.

Modlbldr Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 That is the plan I have for my 41 Chevy pickup lowrider. I want to use the same pallet of silver and blues with a bit of light copper/gold. Beautiful work and an inspiration to me. Thank you.

BKcustoms Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Thank you everyone! I really appreciate the great comments! I managed to get a lot done in the last few days. The body is polished/foiled, chassis is painted, and I've started on the engine. and here's another one I started on. It'll have it's own thread when I get a little farther with it. Thanks for looking and please let me know what you think, good or bad. Billy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jantrix Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 That is just stunning. I'm going to have to do some Youtube research on how this is done when I get my compressor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin T Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 What masking tape do you use to get such sharp but yet curved lines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKcustoms Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 Thanks guys! Would there be any interest in a how-to on this kind of paint job? I'm getting ready to paint another Impala like this one and I'll do a step by step on it if anyone wants me to. Austin, I cut thin strips of Tamiya tape by taping two x-acto blades together and cutting strips out. the gap between the blades is how wide the tape will be. I hope this makes sense, I'm not real great at explaining things sometimes. Billy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
