Fat Bob Paint

Bought a new Fat Bob a few weeks ago. My brother is painting it. He's in-process, but here is the progress so far:

Start

Undercoat

Flames

I have no idea what he is doing next, but I like it so far.

Congrats to you for tearing in to a brand new bike. Its looking like its going to be a lot sharper than a plain red bike ever could have been.

That is looking sharp. Is that a dark gray or black undercoat?

Looking good so far. Looks like a dark green undercoat. Congrats on the new ride and paint. Post up some finished pics.

The base is black with a green-to-orange color changing overlay. He sanded it down a bit between basecoat and flames, obviously. I'm not sure what his plans are from here. He asked me if I wanted him to stop and I told him to "complete his vision," whatever it is that may be. I have a feeling there may be some pinstriping and maybe some HD lettering, but I really don't know. I trust him and like what I see so far. He's my bro.
