Hi Spike, Thanks, it turned out better then we hoped :D

Hi cstaup, Van Halen is good but, I am a Floyd fan 8) Thanks, it took about 6hrs each to lay out and mask off the black and white parts :? with a overnight dry in between each.

Hi Jetnoise400, yes, I watch the Trucks show all the time, I talked my son into doing it this way to be a one of a kind, we used the "Das Bronco" as a guide, I let him lay out the black and white areas, we switch the colors around so as not to be just a copy. :wink: I sent copys to the Power Block TV show site, maybe they will show it. :D :roll:

Looks good!
