Model 5five9 Intrique





A collaboration of free hand and airbrush art work reside under Kandy Apple blue tint and multiple deep, glass like clear coats. The focus of detailed art work is rapidly lost when your eye is caught by Diamond Dust suspended through out countless coats of clear. Pulverized glass laced lacquer give the metal flake illusion of sparkling with out the appearance of actual flake. The jagged edges of the crushed glass reflect light and manipulate color through the top of this one of a kind finish. Her breath looks to be truly magical as the light makes it disappear and reappear right before your eyes. To compensate the excessive amount of finish, the back is covered with a single coat of matte clear over the open pour genuine Honduran Mahogany body.
