Steve GT Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 Got a bit bored tonight so decided to get on with a little small something I've been planningFirstly got this through from LukEPLove it also got some sdecals sent down from Luke and put them with a few I've collected over the monthsRemember that piece of steel i had. well got it sprayed upThen started workAnd finially the finished productThe plan is to have it as a little plaque mounted in the back of my car somewhere just to represent and show off the club and traders on UKSC. thought it was a good idea and a nice little touch to make it stand aside from the rest Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve GT Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 lol im a crap painter allways runs reacts or bits of dirt get in the paint, even if i spend hours! fer play though my bumpers out for spray over the weekend Lol skirts have behaved themselves really quite happy with them lol the scoop was a pain in the arse though messed up the laquer and it didnt run off properly so looked like a small pond haha had to do it all again. just a case of patience and letting each layer settle before putting on the next. Front bumper however i think i might get someone else to do when i get a toms one really dont fancy spraying something that big. little bits and bobs i dont mind but dont have the patience for big panels lolsimply awesome work my friend!!!really loving this project!!!!plaque looks well funky!keep it up dood!Phil.Cheers kind sir. really trying hard to get it all done now so i can start treating her to some rare original extras Glad you like the plaque really happy with it. really think it shows off and represents the club well Big thanks to the legend that is Luke EP too for sorting me out with all the trader decals too Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve GT Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 cheers sparksterdid the plaque mainly for shows think its a nice little tribute to the fineness that is UKSC and all the traders involved. when i was doing it i realised how far the sites come since i first joined. so many different traders now offering loads of different things and also the addition of paseo pimp etc. loving itJust laquering the other skirt up now. let it harden over night and bosh it on tomorrow Quote Link to post Share on other sites
