I used latex for backgrounds here, and I used 1-shot enamels for te rest of it because this job maybe up for some time. For "compass work" I used tape, string. and charcoal. My customer did supply me with some small wheel brochures to copy. On one brochure the wheel was facing other direction, so I copied it upside down. As far as detail work here, they look kinda crude up close but from the street the really "pop", especially using some color behind them. I've been doing work on these windows for about 8yrs and have done many different themes from cartoons, cars, shocks, aggresive lettering etc., but nothing has stimulated as much business for them as the wheels have. So as long as wheel styles keep changing , I gotta "gig".
