This is the frame, which has been base coated in Sherwin Williams Planet Colors Toxic Frost Green and clear coated its now ready for the graphic design layout.

And this would be a picture of me working on the graphics. After the main image is scanned into the computer, sized, and cut on the plotter, I lay out the main graphic. I leave the middle section open for the fill of skulls and patterns.

This is a shot of the main graphic layout before I add the inside fill or art work.

Within this design I would like some of the skulls to be close to the base color. I sketch an assortment of skulls, scan them into my computer and make a vinyl mask, then lay them down within the main graphic design. Pictured above you can see the vinyl masks going down the middle of the design; you can see where I have taped over the cut outs for eyes, mouth and nose.

Here you can see the front fender with the design layout in place.
