that look spretty good mate. Sure is different. How long did that take to do?

Did you get it done or did you do it yourself?

Certainly is something different and unique.. Job well done.

My only concern would be with the temperatures that creep up around the engine bay may crack / fade / destroy the paint..

Good effort by the artist too..

Nope had a mate do it who owns his own airbrushing business.

As for under bonnet temps i had same concerns but was told it wasnt heavily coated in clear only 2 coats so should be sweet, and if it starts to get damaged ill just take it out as i think it looks pretty cool on its own!! :bow:

very nice mate. looks good.

the only problem is that with it on the manifold gets ridiculously hot thats why my SSV is naked in that department

Padrino, I'd be careful where I opened the bonnet if I were you, a passing fireman might think your engine bay has erupted in flame! Maybe avoid popping the hood when filling up with fuel etc...Looks great!:thumbsup:

Do you know how much that would cost roughly? I know he is your mate so you either didnt pay or got it cheap but do you have a rough idea?

The price he quoted me (non mates rates) was $380. That was based on hours spent airbrushing rather then design type.

That doesnt seem too pricey. Could be an option in the future.
