Default Custom tank installed....

I finished my paint job on my wife's 1200 Low this weekend. (Tank only so far) Wanted to see if she liked the theme before doing the rest of the tins.......she liked it........Was going for the "distressed look" on the top and some sort of old school lace on the sides........What do ya'll think?.....I hope it didn't come out "too" girly..........

Thanks man.....I did do the paint. This was only my third attempt at airbrushing. I learned a lot from doing my tank first. It's a very cool art form. I'm about to paint another Nightster tank for my 48. Gonna keep this one "dark".......I'll definitely be posting pics of it on here..........

That is a very cool paint job. Did you do the base paint and the airbrush? Either way it's bad ***. Good job man.

Nice work man. You most certainly have talent! Never in a million years could I do that.
