Anyone do a EVH design body?

Anyone do a EVH design body? I'm currently painting my XXX-NT Drake Edition body, and decided to try this out......I haven't painted a body in quite a few years, so this is my first attempt.....I have the black stripes done, currently doing more masking.....

just for an idea, here is an old guitar I painted I had laying around, to give an idea....

Basically, I just did not want the guitar that busy......the truck body I'm painting is a little busier than the guitar....

Ok....still need to drill holes for body mounts & cut out windows but....hey, it's my first attempt in a loooong time...

Red looks a little blochy in the photos for some reason, but it's not.....strange...

Looks cool. I think there was a car in the Readers Rides section of RCCA a while ago with a very similar paint job. Only on a X-ray M-18. Great Work

ok....finished mounting the body....I know the rims look funny, but i'll be getting white rims, and painting\clearcoating them to match, will look a whole lot better...

Also still am painting the little spoiler.....forgot to do that

Nice that looks really good and it should look even better with the spoiler.

Old thread....but it was mine to start

This was a XXX-NT body I painted long ago, and it was a PITA as I really don't paint much, and just did it with rattle cans.

I have a Clear XXX-4 body I would like to do a similar paint scheme to.....any suggestions on hoe to do it?

Liquid mask the body, and lay down the black stripes on the outside to use as a template? Then go from there?
