@PhillB has replicated the amazing GT Midnight Aurora colourway, so maybe you could borrow HIS magic sponge?!*Thanks for all the compliments, really looking forward to completing this now! I just hope I don't mess the remaining stages up as I'm in unknown territory from here on in with the sponges and varnish. Hopefully the effect of the varnish will be twofold - to help smooth off the texture of the sponged paint and also to protect the colour from UV.
I'm going to have to add a funny boat name now aren't I?
I think the one I've seen that made me laugh most was 'She Got the House'!
That's an epic job, especially brush painted. I love the colour too!How f**kin' cool is that paint job!!!
Looking forward to seeing what a magic sponge can do! You've done amazingly well with your magic brush!!!
@PhillB and @Canuckbiker - can you two believe this has been hand painted?!*
My magic sponge was simply a piece of natural sponge that I bought in an art shop@PhillB has replicated the amazing GT Midnight Aurora colourway, so maybe you could borrow HIS magic sponge?!*
One of my favourite builds over the last year was @Bart_75 re-imagining a GT Avalanche into Tequila Sunrise 2.0
Tequila Sunrise 2.0
Shortly afterwards, I was lucky enough to get my hands on a (rather neglected) 1991 GT Team Avalanche Midnight Aurora which I restored. While I was researching this bike, I saw a few photos of GT Pantera with the Midnight Aurora paintwork. From what I could glean, this was a special order paintwork from GT and no-one quite knows how many were made.....but not many... a handful perhaps.
I remember thinking how cool it would be to find one...
