Caleen's Rhino

Caleen brought in her rhino for Shawn to paint. Her request was for the paintjob to be unisex. Together they decided on a tribal design, surrounded by a sheet metal effect, and a lace pattern.

After the rhino parts were sanded and primered, Shawn spent hours laying out the tribal design and taping it.

After it was all taped up, Shawn sprayed purple and used cellophane to create a marble effect inside of the tribals.

Then, Shawn used black pinstripes to outline the tribals.


The next step was the sheet metal effect. After Shawn finished that, he airbrushed hibiscus flowers and a lace pattern. He finished with a small pinstripe design.

Shawn used the same process for the side panels and the tailgate, beginning with the marbelized tribal design, and finishing with the sheet metal, hibiscus and lace pattern, and a small pinstripe design. Then, he added the finishing highlights, using brown.
