This is my custom jobber. Took me about 4 days to paint it properly and about 3 weeks to perfect the process. I've turned down about 30 offers to make more of them because its just a pain in the @$$!!!! ;D

Hard to guess my trucks theme isn't it? >:D

Thanks!
Black is by far my favorite one. If you look closely at this one, you can see there is a texture to it. It all happened by accident. When painting the bowtie, at about the third coat the paint started to crack. So I put on another coat. Still cracked as it dried. So I clear coated a few coats. Then I went with about 8 coats of black. Each coat slowly but surely filled in the cracks. I finished it off with about 6 more coats of clear coat. If you hold it in your hand, it weighs about a pound now! But if you look at it, it has a cool, leather-like texture.

With all the rain we're getting, it resembles more of an oasis than a desert. We are loving every drop that falls from the sky ? (y) ?MORE RAIN!!

Doesn't the back of the AV look so much better without the license plate?

Here is a pic of a mystery bowtie...(unidentified but reflective)

You bet the Av looks better without a license plate (y). It's great to see that bowtie pride!

I think you all in Phoenix are faring better with the drought than us in Denver. That's a scary thought that you're getting more precip. than us :eek:. Can you believe there are idiots here that want to shut off the Colorado River to AZ :7:? I'm not one of them.

I'm gonna have AZ withdrawals next month during Spring Training :cry:.

Love the pics. I'd be interested in a U.S. flag bowtie for my Av. I'd also like those bowtie reflectors for those steps in the back.

 
At one point I also considered those flag bowties especially after seeing pics from some of our members.

They are really beautiful---an opinion equally shared by all those thieves out there. I got scared that it would get the five finger discount while parked at a local mall or something.

If you have one of those expensive trenz or flag bowties, it would definitely be a good idea to secure them behind the grillle.

Me? I'll just stick to one of these cheap 13 dollar stock factory bowties---one can of duplicolor and I'm set.

If they get stolen? Well, I'll be mad for like 5 minutes and then move on. (But not before hunting down the dirtbag ?>:D ? )


You can almost read the part number off this pic...

Looks like we got 2 bowtie threads going neck-to-neck here. The other one is also cool called "Color Changing Bowties". We are getting bowtie fever.

C'mon people--show us them 'ties!

Thank you. :) That is actually on Chasman's truck, but I made one for each of us. :)
