restoring OEM stripes on damaged Cars.

Painted the striping after this Daimler was completly resprayed.
The car was crashed and had to have a completly new paint job.
Unfortunatly the original striping was lost during this.


To have it striped again in the traditional way, over the clearcoat is a much better option
It looks way nicer and has a more smoother and autentic look.


For inquiry's contact elvin.vanvliet@home.nl

Chopper Bicycle

Painted this bike for one of my best friends from England.
Some striping on the wheels in bright Red, a 50's PinUp girl and some variegated Leaf with Lettering.


He was quite shocked when he saw the big red nipples (those English Boys are prudish)
and had to be carefull to show to his mother.
So I made here a removeable bikini top from magnetic tape.
