Hawaii Liberator

Mark sent me his tins awhile ago for some Hawai-Style decoration. He is building a shiny-looking WLA and has already painted a two-tone kolor scheme himself. Here's a mockup-pic:

He wanted the works: pinups, outlines and hibiscus flowers. For budget reasons, we decided to use stickers for the pinups. Airbrushing them would have cost way too much time and this looks just as cool. Under a few layers of clear, you won't be able to notice they are "fake".

The gold leaf outlines are real, though. I had to tape off the outline and HD logo and spray gold-size (a goldleaf-glue) on the exposed surfaces.
After an hour or so, the gold can be applied. The access is wiped off using a very soft brush.
Et le voila!
The fenders get double outlines:

Next I will add flowers all over. Stay tuned for that update.
