Vanning


Vanning is a compulsion, an obsession, an occupation, an affliction, a fascination, a fate. It is not a hobby. Those who do it, must. Those who don't, think it's a waste of time. For me it is a calling.

THE SURFINK COMES ALIVE

       The last month or two has been rough. Hot, not a lot of work, among other things, so I have lost myself in the garage workin' on what I intend to be the best thing I have ever done.
sanded for what seemed like a month
after laying out the graphic I masked it and sprayed the color between the two tone

after that it was time to haul it to Sam's and get it in the paint booth 
spent the better part of the day masking it up  took off the doors so we could paint everything at once

had to mask up for each color separately
first color done time to mask some more
Sam does a fabulous job of layin on clear. so I had him clear the whole thing after I got all the color on
Like glass!!
Got the doors on and she's ready to go home!




 
After getting it home I spent the next week color sanding and buffing it out.
Its getting close
Gotta break for Food
Couldn't wait to get started on the art on the back
First layer of color
the clear buffed up like glass!
the fink is nearly ready for the last detail
2 days
Wont be long till I can grab the key and hit the street!!
