Default Custom pained or engraved derby covers

Wife had named her new Dyna "Lady Hammer" and wants a derby cover with a custom image of a classic pinup girl painted or engraved on it. I know that getting lazer engraving can be done but has anyone ever seen or done a custom paint job on a derby cover?

Look for anybody that does airbrush. Like on T-shirts.

We have one in the Wolfchase mall that I saw doing a mailbox.

I've seen these guys. Never had work done by them.

No, not exactly. She's got a book at the house that goes through the history of the pinup girl art throughout the century. She's picked out a couple of the girls that she likes and was wondering if it is somthing that can be done on the derby cover and if it could be done to look like the original artwork, and not end up looking like a cartoon or caracature.

BryanTTM, for some reason I REALLY like looking at your photo gallery. I can't figure out why.

hey Rick...one of the forum sponsors, Gordons Engraving can etch the outline and you can then have the pinup airbrushed
