Default Just finished painting my nitrous bottle

Its been a while since my last post here in TECH,
any way I started my new project and wanted to share some pics.
me and my friend were thinking we need to paint my nitrous bottle not like any other bottle

so we decided this














What do you think??

Well, originally it took us 3 weeks trying to make the bottle look like a 3 dimensional "Aquafina" water due to transparency of the bottle we couldn’t make it.
Now the watermelon came out from a friend who had his bike helmet painted as a watermelon so we thought a Nitrous bottle will be perfect for the Idea
The idea was whenever we go racing and someone asks what’s on the car?
We just say:
"watermelon"

That looks great. I actually had someone walk by as I was reading and looking at the pictures ask why that watermelon was such a weird shape and why it had a nozzle on it I love the random aspect of it for when someone asks what it is.

I love that Avatar.

Awesome job OP. I was going to ask if it was painted or a wrap. Very impressive.
