Lowe Shells

[jimmy]

I dont paint shells for people! honest. But for a spot of fun (!) I did these two for oOple super star Rich Lowe.


This is the BJ Worlds with the blue applied and the masking on for the rest still.



This is the end result.
There are about 3 different blues in there yellow, transparent red, chrome and silver and charcoal pearl.
For a laugh, I did 100% of cutting on the plotter, none at all on the shell. so the lines are impossibly clean.. the problem was the 5 hours of masking (with creating the masks etc). hmmmmmm.. dont think i'll be doing it this way again..

The window masks / borders I put up the other day worked really well on these shells, in fact, perfect. Richard wanted consistent clean THIN window borders and thats why I came up with this idea.

Never painted a shell without it being cut out before, anyone else do it that way?, so hope it doesnt get destroyed when cutting. I would have cut them out but just aint had the time so ill let rich do it..
