class man how will it hold up with the heat
Lacquer it up n it be fine id say
I love it but i reckon the heat will make bits of that.
definately looks the bees bollocks tho
Fuck me how long did that take!
That must have taken ages !!!!
That's class man. Needs more boobies tho!
very cool man
just did a small bit evry night for a week and a half i reckon if u you just sat down and stuck at it 2 hrs youd get it done maybe 3, honestly think itll stand up to the heat ! well see:afro:
u wanna do mine? :P thats class lookin!
that is cool ,hope it stands up to the heat dude
Looks the job u should look into airbrushing. Try make a few bob off it..
You should use a proper pen for it:wink: Makes a difference and stays a bit longer under the hood.

Yeah thats cool as .......!!
Whats a proper pen Lucius?
I remember years ago drawing a fake rubber seal on a replica GTiR bonnet vent. I painted the bonnet white , to match the car , in basecoat. Then suddenly got this "brainwave" to draw in a fake rubber seal with a black permanent marker which just happened to be in my pocket. It looked brilliant ! So I started lacquering ..... First coat still looked great , second coat same , third coat/final coat still looked great for about a minute until it started to bleed!!! 5 mins later I had the biggest mess ever - the ink bled into the clear coat and went all blotchy!
Id hate to see this happen to your rocker cover ...........
Whats the secret Lucius ????
Iv lacquered it since and it's fine ! Still not fitted tho ! Ye be interested to know what's best a paint pen probably !
Try to wrap that cover first with some good quality vinyl, and then made sharpie on it;) Make sure is applied properly, heat gun or at least hair dryer is a must.
Something like this:
