NICE! hey, what do you do about the HAZMAT stickers? Will they still fill it if you don't have those?

I like the painted bottle pics! Is your bottle mounted where it can be seen? Did you use automotive paint on it?

What do you mean by HAZMAt im not sure what that is sorry lol. And actually no it wasnt automotive paint. It was house of kolors 3 step pearl rattle can paint from wal-mort it turned out excellent If youre going to use spray paint i def reccomend that for anyone. And yes its mounted on the hump between my backseats.

hazmat is just short for hazardous materials... he is wondering if they will fill the bottle with out the sticker on the bottle.

The bottle looks nice, do they have house of color black or green paint?

That looks really nice man! I hope your car is the same color .

I'm not a fan of the color, but the quality is really good.

Nice job man.

Wow those look really nice. I like the blue with the flames and the chopper iron crosses. I had a helmet airbrushed, i'll post pics when I pick it up.



That is very impressive, that is the job you did with the wal-mart paint. It looks professionally done. I have used walmart paint to make a battery cover, do my calipers, and paint a few things in the engine bay. Great job!!!!!

I have a question about painting the bottles. Will it still pass tech at the track if the label has been removed / painted over? I thought that the label and all the legal jazz had to be visible to pass tech at the track.

Thanks in advance,
Brian

P.S. By the way, bottle looks awesome.

The only time I have seen a problem with a bottle passing tech assuming it is in cert is if it had been sent out to get polished and they polished the DOT numbers off of it. Plenty of people have custom painted their bottles and not had problems. That doesn't mean certain places may not fill it though.

Right, it depends on the place. Some places will fill it for you, but some are a bit pickier about the stickers/markings/etc.
