"COULD THEY EVER... EXPECT SUCH A FRANKENSTEIN...?!?!"
- NEW YORK DOLLS, 1973
"WHEN WE SET OUT TO MAKE OUR ONE OF A KIND SKATE DECK GRAPHIC, WE KNEW WE HAD TO COMBINE OUR '60s MONSTER INFLUENCES WITH SOME '70s GLAM-PUNK ATTITUDE... IMAGINE FAMOUS MONSTERS MEETS THE DOLLS AND TOP IT OFF WITH EARLY KUSTOM PAINT.
"AS OFFICIAL ROTH ARTISTS, WE NOT ONLY ENDORSE ROTH 'FLAKE AND ENAMEL, BUT WE CONSTANTLY EXPERIMENT AND TEST COLORS AND BLENDS FROM EACH LINE. WE HIT THIS FRANKIE DECK WITH A CREATEX AUTO AIR PEARLESCENT GREEN AS OUR BASE, THEN BEGAN SEVERAL DARK TO LIGHT 'FLAKE LAYERS USING 'LIL DADDY ROTH FLAKE IN GANG GREEN (DARKEST), HEAVY LAYERING OF 'LIL LIME SQUEEZER (MIDTONE GREEN), AND THE LIGHTEST TONE WAS ACHIEVED WITH MIND SPLITTER FROM THE TRIPPIN' FLAKE LINE.
TO GET THE DARK TO LIGHT TONES WE WANTED, WE USED AN OVER-BORED, GRAVITY FED PAASCHE WITH RONAN UV AQUATHANE - BOTH AS A FLAKE SUSPENSION AND CLEAR LAYERING.
THE FRANKIE GRAPHIC WAS DONE ENTIRELY IN ENAMELS WITH A HEAVY DOSE OF OUR VERY OWN ADDITION TO THE ROTH ENAMEL PAINT LINE, 'ACE AND KALI'S MONSTER GREEN'.
WE COULDN'T BE MORE IMPRESSED WITH THE ROTH LINE OF 'FLAKES AND ENAMELS AND LOOK FORWARD TO EACH NEW PROJECT THAT COMES ACROSS OUR WORK TABLE - HELMETS, GUITAR BODIES, MOTORCYCLE TANKS, ETC. CAN ALL EXPECT THE ACE AND KALI TOUCH!"
