Thank you Chris, Troys should be showing up today so I will have some new pics for you guys in a couple weeks. I also am picking up a heat shield from an xB2 owner this week so I will be posting that up soon as well.

Well Ted, at least you'll have something to keep you busy this weekend, heheh... I take it neither of those covers have the clear coat finish, I'm anxious to see how that will look on mine... but, take your time, don't rush! I want mine to be your masterpiece, LOL!

Nope neither of them have clear on them. the wolverine one came out... meh, in my opinion. The owner used some type of armor all to clean it with, that soaked into the cover and kept making the paint peel up...

hopefully I wont have to deal with that issue ever again...

Haha, well I'm not an idiot... I won't be soaking my cover in any vat of lye to clean it, lol!

And, I bug you on here everyday, so you're used to me being a pest, haha...

LOL Troy, no worries, you have already said that you prefer I take my time on it, so I will make sure yours comes out to how I like it... people say that an artist is always too critical of their own work, so maybe you will think my best is the greatest piece of art you have ever seen... hahahahahahaha

Troys cover is about 30% done as of right now, so expect pics in about a week or so.

Umm, yeah, I don't think there will be any little pink fairies on my cover...!!

Ted, I thought you said the clear-coating takes an extra two weeks... unless you have the appointment already lined up for next week, perhaps?

I talked to the shop again and they said they can clear the cover in 2 days time. Thursday I should have the cover about 80% done, will just need to add the slogan at that point. Next week I will call up the shop, and have them take it for a couple days to clear it, then I will be able to ship out end of next week, beginning of the week after depending on when I get it to them. Next week I should have pictures of the uncleared design though.

I am still rooting for "We're Not Just Frakkin Toasters Anymore!"

Yeah, after thinking about it more, I do like the dual meaning, with the xB "Toaster" and Cylon "Chrome Toaster" references... Two things - definitely want to change the "They're" from my Sig to "We're" for the cover design, since it is the Cylon that is talking...also, I think it better to spell out Frakking rather than Frakkin' - the Cylons would pronounce human words in a formal robot manner... Frakkin' is what Starbuck would say...

Well, kinda talked myself into it... Why don't we go ahead with that... Hmm, It's a much longer slogan, can you fit it all on the cover??

yea I can just make the "font size" smaller to fit it all. I was thinking of putting it across the bottom of the cover so its the first thing you see.

"We're not just frakking toasters anymore!"
