this is in the making it still has 4 more colors to go.the blue is just tape, my son is air brushing the kandy kolors on it.the first 2 are purple and pagan gold.the next is tangerine,oriental blue,and organic green.then shading a small amount of black for depth in areas. i told him to listen to jimi hendrix "voo doo child" and that's what color i wanted to paint it and the design. so this is what he came up with.

3 more pictures before i call it a night. the tear drops are going to be organic green. right now as i type this my son is spraying wild cherry on one of the sides.after the work he has done tonight i think I'm going to give him my amen hard tail frame i picked up this weekend.and help him build a bobber out of it.his buddy was telling me he wanted this paint job to be very good and special.so he deserves it.

Your tank, sir, is the first argument in favor of having children I've ever heard that actually hit a nerve

Seriously, though, that's a gorgeous paint job.

Awesome tank, as reminiscent of the psychedelic era as it gets

Seeing your psychedelic tank reminds me of Mr. Natural, but I can’t imagine why.

Seriously, that’s some very impressive paint work!

The kids got skills!! Buying all those colors had to set you back a few pay checks huh?

They guy we get our supplies from treats a guy right he let me buy 1/4 pints he usually sells 1/2 pints as the smallest. His normal price is 26.00 a half pint we got for 20.00 plus he gave me a half pint free. my son bought the base and clear and the drugs for 125.00 as of right now we got less than 200.00 in it. My son has so far about 20 hours of his time. Everything he has done was free handed nothing was planned out. He just grabbed some tape and had at it. I'm trying to get him to do this on the side for a little extra cash. Thanks to all you guys who are giving him compliments. It's giving him a push to further his hidden talent. This is his first custom paint job like this.

Yes, he can make money doing that quality of work. It is a gift, like tattoo, graffiti, or sculpture. He can have a day job but he needs to develop his talent and make some cash doing it. My daughter is at Herron art school, Indianapolis. She loves it, plans to teach.

Looking real nice, going to look sweet under clear and buffed out! If he's not picking up side jobs already, he sure should be.
