depends on whether the panels are the same color as the tube they will be attached to. ie. silver or grey bars and OD green panels, might be easier to paint with them seperated.... food for thought.
Now... in all honesty, I personally don't find Redheads attractive at all. Most of them have pale skin, and that's def not my thing. However, most WWII pinup art involved red headed women, so thats the real reason. Often times the women were topless or even completely nude, but I feel like I am a pretty family oriented guy, and I prefer to keep it clean.
My grandmother would dis-own me. Plus, this represents my business, and I don't want to loose customers b/c of a stupid pin up girl. To some people, that looks bad. Personally, I wouldn't let some redneck with a naked girl painted on his truck work on my stuff... but maybe that's just me.
That is a really good argument, but unfortunately in today's overly sensitive society I have to agree with Tyler.
All this having to tip toe around peoples feelings for fear of losing business or getting sued or whatever stupid reason is a load of crap.
That being said if the pinup girl weren't naked but rather wearing a bikini made out of mud tire treads, and holding a nice set of coilovers....that could be cool and tasteful.
ok... you guys can stop now, lol. I am gonna gave her sitting on a bomb, missle, rocket, whatever, and it will have " ...just waiting to go off" on it and then say Rock Solid Fab. Above the entire painting, the name will be painted; Bombshell Betty.
