Pine View is getting new upgrade little by little every year. This year we finally got our marquee! And some new paint inside the halls! So then the Panthers at the Football Stadium were looking pretty run down comparatively. So, Ray Hosner asked me to fix them up. So I spent the next 2 days painting my last 2 panther heads!!! The 2 days before school started! Nothing like cutting it close. They have their 1st football game this Friday. I hope it brings them luck.
The heads were really worn out, sun bleached and chipped. What needs to happen is they need to be sand blasted off and then repainted. I had to scrub them really good first to even get them clean. I also bought a sealer to help keep them looking nice. Hopefully. And I changed to colors completely.
The white on the nose had turned more yellow than white. This was after I had painted half of it white. You can still see how yellow it was.
These are with the Gray and Silver done. But not the black yet.
There was quite a difference on how sun bleached that black was.
Above is the before and below is the after. I put a Pewter Gray for the jaw line, ear, eye, and throat to make them stand out more. Then I changed then forehead and back gray to metallic Silver. It really shines! The first outline is also the same silver. I think it ties in well. And then the Pewter is the 2nd outline. I have no idea what color of gray they had as the 2nd outline before. It was a completely different gray. Then the black I used was a gloss for a nice shine! I like it.
New and improved above! Below was before. It definitely needed a boost.
