my club member Rolly started painting by first shooting a silver base covered with micro and medium silver flake...

the silver was then cleared and wet sanded and then we started taping the patterns...

the different pink bases and pink flake were shot and the tape was removed to reveal the silver...

she gets a lot of attention... she loves to ride in her stroller, and I love that I found a way to share with her my passion for lowriding at such an early age. I can't wait till I can start building her a real car!!!

these things are really fun, I recommend them to anybody with young children, or maybe just to have as display... if anybody is interested in one and wants info on how to get one or find parts for one, just let me know, I'd be more than glad to help...
