Im still alive guys..Just been busy
been painting at night after wrenching all day.






Was your basic black mailbox when the guy gave it to me...he said "have fun with it" so thats what I did!
The flames are Pagan Green metallic.Then coated the whole thing with Chameleon that flips between blue,copper,and green.Then oulined the flames with hot rod red oneshot and shaded the flames with candy black pearl. Followed with lots of clearcoat.Still need to wetsand and buff it but wanted to wait another day to make sure the clear was cured
What do you think??

I love the colors and the sparkle.  With as much energy and paint that went into that thing, I'be afraid to put it outside.

Cost of stock black mailbox from Menards - $10
Cost of Swilly's finishing touches - $500
End result - Priceless
