It's been a while since I posted any pictures here but I thought you may like to see this one. Summer long project just finished and delivered today. One of the nicest paint colors I have done yet. I like it, I hope you do too.

That is absolutely beautiful. Who did the paint job and is all that airbrushed accents or taped off and painted?

I'm not usually a fan of pumps with bling, but that thing looks incredible.

Thanks everyone. No air brushing, just fine line tape and 3 colors. I did all the paint and body work.+

I like original pumps, but that is an absolutely amazing paint job that suits the pump. You have created a true work of art.


Looking for Canadian Imperial and Canadian North Star.

I agree... some of the nicest color choices I have seen - makes the pump look classy! Did you have to lay a clear coat over everything to fill in the "ridges" from the masking tape?


Always looking for Red Indian Tins, McColl Frontenac, McColl Bros., Buffalo (prarie cities oil co), Stellarene and other western canadian tins.

Very Cool Two-Tone Paint Job, TUCKER! This really belongs to a museum!

Love that BLACKHAWK lense!

Hi Nicole. My hand is not steady enough to paint in the letters. It looked to me like the previous owner used a black magic marker. I sometimes have to stop myself to keep from over doing it. Thanks to everyone for the kind words.






See what I mean? Very easy to get carried away. Yes the paint is PPG basecoat clearcoat. 2 or 3 coats of clear, then wetsand with 2000 paper and polish back to a shine.
