This glossy orange finish has been really difficult to get a picture of, but I think things have finally worked out. I'm a big fan of natural finishes—if it's metal let's see it, if it's plastic let it be and if it's wood well it's damn near offensive to paint over it. At the same time a well executed, high gloss metal flake finish is a beautiful thing and who doesn't love a pinstriped hot rod? Well, I think I've finally found a nice mash up of the two and I call it "pyrostriping." It's a little bit primal and a little bit rock 'n' roll… here's my first go at it on the back of the Flattop.
