Ok HERDSTERS opinion needed.

[DevilDog]

Got a derby cover that came off an 08 96TC/6spd that I am going to stripe and contribute for the auction @ HERDSTOCK.

I spent most of an hour using a 3M pad scuffing the #*&$ out of it. Cleaned it real good and put a healthy adhesive primer coat, followed by 4 coats of Textured Satin Black.

Now I am trying to figure which way I want to go as far as stripes. I have it narrowed down to two options.

1st option is an Old School white and red style simple stripes.

2nd option is a Maltese Cross stripe pattern in white and red.

So what do you recommend. I know I narrowed it down to certain bikes by painting it black. But I was really worried about the paint being on a chrome surface. Hopefully who ever gets this will mount it on a bike, and I wanted the paint to be somewhat durable.

I vote option 1 (but I'm not very creative)

[B-Man]

[Monk]

How about a HERD theme freehand..?

[pro50]

old school sounds good

[Dave63]

Just to sweeten the pot..... I sent some stuff to Dixie already that I striped. I did another piece over the weekend that I'll bring along too. Since DDB is donating a hand painted derby cover for a 1999 or newer bike, I'll donate one for a 1998 and older, 3-hole primary. Old Skewl style. Purple and gray striping..

[DevilDog]

Damn Dave you be turning the heat up on me..... That looks real good. I really like those colors. The wife was trying talk me in to doing it in multiple shades of gray. Makes me think she was on the right track.

Did you use the Kafka brushes or your Mac Knife ?

[Dave63]

That's with the Kafka....... They make it easier for me.

[RubberDown]

I like old school, a lot, but I dig Evil Jokers too..........

That's why you people shouldn't ask me those questions.........

[Monk]

Wish I could see the band on the cigar...

[RubberDown]

Surely it's Cuban......
