The first is a private commission for a real jag fanatic on a spare jag piston he had, the second one is for my own personal collection on a ferrari piston. All hand painted and clear coated, took bloody ages but was worth the effort.

Thank you for the kind words. Peter the Jaguar piston took me 2 and a half days to paint, also i forgot to mention that the word 'Jaguar' is done in gold leaf. The Ferrari piston took me 4 and a half days to paint.
To save people from asking, i charge £120 a day (believe me my days are very long) Most people who commission me are real fanatical about their cars and its an extravagance they can afford. |

Forgot to mention that most requested commissions are just painted on the top of the piston as shown. This kind of painting takes a day and a half. Once its been framed nobody sees the sides.
