alright guys........i do appreciate alot of this feedback...however....im not wanting or needing alot of negative input on it simply because it is not even close to being done...........Ne way .....i agree about the inner fenders i am going to get him to roll the flames under the fender....even if i have to take that piece off...........However as i said before i am very happy with it.....and thats all that matters to me...

Lazy is the word, not half assed.

Thats DIRT on the inside of the fender (last picture), and I only say its dirt, because under the side mirror is the same crap.. why wouldnt you clean the surounding areas first?... unless he's just a sloppy painter and likes to get overspray on everything?

Im sure it will turn out to be everything the owner wanted, but there are BETTER ways to do things.

yea when i got mine painted i started bitchin 2 him about everything and just like he said it will be everything i want,and it was more,he did so much extra stuff that i didnt ask but told him i would like 2 have and didnt charge me any extra.im going up there right now and gona have him take the inner fender out and point out a few things 2 him.i just think when its in the middle of paint nothing looks right cause mine was the same way wnen he did it

Looks like the kat has some nice paint skillz ....but im gonna have to agree with everyone else..... that inner fender lip is just peppered with dirt and trash and cant believe that was just left in to do the paintwork....would have taken lil time to removed and prep properly to make sure didnt effect anything.

like the fender lip look at that last pic.... ok where the part isnt peppered with dirt and trash on the top.... he rolled the flames/paint onto that....but when he came to the spot where it was on the back of the opening.... to simply just avoid the dirt & trash then you can see the flames begin at the edge and stop short for the most part and just tried to stay away from the dirt basically.Kinda like why mask around the headlight....yank it out, it only takes literally 5 minutes and would help him be sure to be able to roll the flame work in the gap there

Dude should have prepped it better and thats simply it, hes got talent for sure and cant deny it but took to much of a chance for a shortcut to same time & energy on your ride.

Now if you yank our those inner fenders.... your still gonna have to make sure he cleans/preps those lips up and then still paint those fender lips also and then make sure he matches up all the flamework on that edge inward to what is still there on the edge outward abnd not simply blows some color on there thinkin it doesnt matter cause its a fender lip ....cause on your truck it can be seen way more than most trucks and would stick out like crazy

yea we went up there today and he took the fenders out and sanded it down and is gona make it right,henk went up there and brought it home so he can work on it this weekend and will have a shop 2 do all the paint work in cause it wont fit in his shop.these are the pics today just messin around at the paint shop

i wasnt hatin or givin negative input just stating the obvious. as a painter myself i would not want my name on work like that even if the owner is happier then a kid in a candy store thats just my opinion not hating ! and it looks like he does nice work and i cant wait to see the finished product .

well they had some problems with the clear so pablo had 2 sand all the flames off and start over.but the new ones look better than last ones,and the frame is painted kandy tangerin orange

It is good to see that he is blending his stencils in a little better. You can still tell that the faces are stencils but they are looking better than the first go around!!! With a little more practice, his airbrush work will get 5 times better. It looks good!!!

yea thats his first time 2 really do some flames like that.luckly he is really kool and if something isnt perfect he dosent half ass it and try 2 make it look right he just sands it off and starts over,and if we see something we dont like he will fix it and make it right

with his skills tho i think he will go a long way in the show scene as far as paint and shit

hopefully this will get him some more buisness in the kustom paint and shit cause that is what he wants,he hates doing plain paintjobs that dont have any graphics in it cause he said he would rather airbrush all day than shoot color,lol

be on the lookout for TRAVIESO PAINT AND BODY to blow up
