American flag painted Kirby g6

[kirbykid]

I have been messing around with painting Kirbys lately, and I made this! It's a Kirby G6 that has been painted. It also has a rebuilt motor, some new trim pieces, and has been professionally cleaned so you won't get any dust or dirt from someone elses home. Any offers are greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking a look

"Painted"

How did you "paint" that? or is it just duct tape or some other adhesive product?

 

[kirbykid]

Its actually a wrap sort of thing. I sand down the metal, cover it in a special glue, and put the wrap on it. It takes a few tries to get it right, but it is really cool afterwards.

Wow, an even uglier G6 than it normally looks...I love the look of the G5 though.

 

[kirbykid]

Um, excuse me? I worked hard on making this! I had to do hours and hours of prep work! And it took hours of trying to actually get it right! Just because you dont like the look of it doesnt mean you have to insult me in the comments! If you had been standing infront of me when you said that, I would have punched you in the jaw! Keep your opinions to yourself next time, im sure nobody here values them if they are like that.

I for one think it's pretty stinkin' awesome! I love the flag of our country Evan and it looks fantastic on the Kirby! You did a phenonmenal job! People are entitled to their opinions, even if they are crappy LOL

 

[alexhoovers94]

Great job on the hard work and it looks cool but I am unsure why this is significant in the fact someone would like to buy it.
Kudos to you though for your hard work and I apologise for offending you but that wasn't my intention.

Kirby as art

Looks great and no one has to ask if it was 'Made in USA'!I have also seen Kirbys painted in local sports team colors when it fits in with existing Kirby coloring.

Im not making bags and painting trim pieces so I can make them any color. If you are interested in buying a new bag, painted trim, and painted metal email me at [email protected]

Wow, very impressive. Where can I get some of this glue and wrap? I would love to try this out on a Royal.

 

[kirbykid]

Its a specialty order. If you send me your royal I can do it for you.

I think that Kirby is GREAT-beautiful job!!!Figure it you must have used the same process that is used to "wrap" cars and even buses with graphic Vinyl wraps.This sort of thing should be done on the NEW Kirby!!

 

[madabouthoovers]

It looks very cool indeed - an original and patriotic thing to do to a Kirby, and if your Kirby is dull and tarnished it saves having to spend hours buffing it.


At the end of the day, its only the same thing as people modding their cars, and adds a personal touch to any bog standard Kirby. I'd like to see it with the Flag colours on the bag too.


Perhaps an all Pink Kirby? someone did close to this this in the UK with a G5 by spraying the main body metallic purple/pink and it did look very good especially as the bag on the G5 is a maroon colour. (I should have saved pics of it when it was on Ebay)

 

[kirbykid]

Thanks guys. You are right, it it the same thing used on cars. And I did do a all pink sentria 2.

 

[matt8808]

Very impressive!

 

[dustin]

Cool! I like it!

 

[tolivac]

Do you still have pictures of the pink Sentria-would like to see it!Sounds Neat!!

 

[kirbykid]

I don't have any right now. Next time I will be able to take pictures is this saturday
