New Canopy from Ricko's

I probably shouldn't post this due to who it's for, but it is just so cool I could not resist!

This is a "special" done by Ricko's for an Industrial Twin.

Rick did his usual fantastic job, AND in a timely manner!!

Is that the prep before the paint ? :lol:

What is it going to look like when finished? :mrgreen:

:lol: Funny guy!!

The customer requested it as a flat Matte finish, which is exactly what they got. It even feels the same as running your hand over the camo job on a Hummer.

Maybe they'll send us pics with it installed....

Glad you enjoyed the joke. <G>
Rick does great work. But I can see why the turn around time was quick on that one. I bet Rick loves doing canopies like that.

Will be nice to see the pictures when it is installed.

Yea, not much clearcoat or wet sanding on that one!!

I would even enjoy painting something like that. Maybe I could make that look good.

Good camo paint technique isn't as easy as it seem. As evidenced by the bad urban camo jobs I'm sure we've all seen rolling down the road. There definately is a technique to it. Uncle Sam hooked me up with a bit of training way back before we worried about 'desert tan' as a paint scheme.
Can we guess that it's not headed for desert climate :wink:

Thank you Chris!!! That is too funny too Dave!!! :D I had a blast doing that job - was curious how good that paint would look on my Typhoon sub? heheheh
