Post subject:  Check out my work
Hello Everyone,
I just wanted to show everyone what I do. I'm a Pinstriper and custom painter by trade. My work is of the highest quality. These are sprayed with metallic paints then followed with several transparent dyes.Then a color change flake is applied the high solids gloss. The pharoh has some pinstriping on it applied by hand with a pinstriping brush. I have several commissions in process. I'll share them with you as I get them finished up Thanks 4 looking! I will have pro pics in a couple days.
Matt

these look amazing! I really like pinstriped kaiju - it forms a connection with the whole rat fink/Big Daddy Roth monster-hot rod thing.

I've had a really great artist friend pinstripe some tin robots for me and it really transforms them. I'd love to see more of your work as you finish it - please post more pictures.

Awesome pinstriping.
And the color change paint looks great.

Wow! I think you might be the first person that can get away with posting their kustom kaiju on their first post! Those both look great! I've never been a fan of the Pharoh, but I really dig that one. And the metal flake/metalics on the Chaos looks tremendous!

Living in LA I was wondering when this would happen. Surprised it took so long. Really sweet... Pimp my kaiju!

I like it. I was wondering how your work would translate to these toys. I can't wait to see more.

I rarely see pinstriping on custom figures by SBers, probably a very risky thing to apply on your work since it is hard to execute.

Immediately visualize Cronic's Koiwa-san when I see pinstripes---he does it so smoothly and so apt to the figure.

I'd love to see this crazy layering style applied to some old school colorways. Looks dope.

Yes... requires surgeon's steady hands, and you actually use a different kind of paint for pin striping... it's specially formulated to "stretch".

these pieces are very nice. i'd like to see another pharon with even more pinstriping. the colors on the chaos have a very lovely liquid look.
and although I do not say it very often, i'd just like to point out that my own work is also of the highest quality.

the flaking looks cool... but the pinstriping looks weak.

Thanks for all of your posts and pm's. I have many more pieces underway I will post them up as I get them finished. I have been pinstriping for over 12 years and I appreciate all your comments,etc. Feel free to contact me anytime.

I don't have so many years of pinstriping under my belt, but I do know that it seems more difficult to do it on a smaller space...such a limited range of motion that it hard to get the flow going...imo...

Dead Prez - hope you stick around and join in the everyday BS around here. Show us your collection and more customs over time. I'm not into custom toys, but I'm trying to think of something else to have you paint!

Post subject:  Re: Check out my work
Matt's customs are no joke. Probably one of the best I've seen. Pure candy and pics do not do his stuff justice. He uses the highest quality automotive stuff. I don't think V-color has anything on this. Very nice and down to earth dude too.
