Skate"Bored" deck project

My equipment is not here yet from Hawaii, soooo I decided to work on something different
Sketch UP!!!!!! man i'm crossed eyed:)) brrrr it's ccccold in my studio, Makes me wished I got that old heater from the garage sale..N|OW ready for some paint




UPDATE!!!!!

So I decided to change the Base colour seeing as it was darker than I wanted, So I sanded down the board:)  
seems that I DIDN't sand down as far, that the colors bled:)
SOOOOOOOO Sanded it down a third time:) this time almost o the primer, Re primed, then Re-shot the white base then silver :) As youl can see I ALSO redid the middle emblem

I decide to again to render reverse colors..







Render the Gold Leaf then Ready for CLEAR:)

4 Pieces in 2 weeks

A one week stay in Hawaii was NOT enough to complete  on piece, let alone 4..
but then I DID promise my brother a Painting once he gets a house, Plus my father just moved into a bigger clinic and I just HAD to do a painting.. sooooooo I decided on 4 pieces..
here are some pics of my NEW Hawaii studio:)
 


 



Hopefully the weather holds up:) from what I have heard, it hasn't rained in a month hopefully I will get to
enjoy the Hawaiian Sun:) I improvised using the side of the house and a tarp for my "spraybooth" and small fans for ventilation as well as my father's bus for a drying booth. And some fans I found laying around the place which I used as ventilation..  The last photo above is my DRY table, It was great using my laptop for my reference photos as well as using a Digital LED Projector ( which kicks MAJOR A$$) ..the operative word is "Improvisation" :)
it will JUST have to do:)) Good thing I FED EXed my equipment two weeks earlier..
