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.
