Tacky or Ok? My only blue.
« on: April 09, 2018, 02:57:52 PM »
Hopefully this is the final version of the blue ssp so i decided to start a new thread.  Three performers done and 2 more to go. Need to move on to the next project. Shooting for 3 weeks to get the other 2 done.

Oh, darn. Missed the backside of the wheels. And you were so close! Perhaps a contrasting dark gray if not the blue.

Seriously though, that looks awesome!


It's the iconic symbol for the backyard. It's family/friends, food and fun. What more do you need to feel everything [is] going to be all right. As long as we can still have a BBQ in our backyard, the world seems a bit of a better place. At least for that moment. -reillyranch

Yeah the wheels didn't last more than 2 hrs. It just look too wild and distracting. Went back to the off-white. Just ordered some black instead.  Probably will go back to the black ash pan also.

All the blue accents are a little too matchy-matchy for my tastes. But great execution on the mods!

I agree with you - like it all but the blue wheels and ash pan were a bit too far for me.

Really like what you done to your blue performer.  Nicely done.
