* The fine art of GOLD LEAF - SILVER LEAF - PLATINUM LEAF - COPPER LEAF  &  VARIEGATED LEAF gilding has traditionally been revered as the ultimate expression of interior and exterior sign identification. Historically, 23 karat gold leaf adorns fine flat and carved signs, and vehicles signifying quality and reputation

 
Gary restored the antique Mosler safe's 23K GOLD LEAF, Pinstriping & original style lettering 

The new owner wanted Gary to design a monogram for him, also in Gold.

The antique safe (above) was restored & then brought to Gary's shop to be Silver leafed & Pinstriped.  Gary explained that silver leaf tarnishes & that Platinum leaf looks almost the same but does not tarnish.

The Platinum Leafed Motorcycle tank & fender (on the right)  with engine turn, had not been 
clear coated yet!  After clear coating the candy blue would get much deeper & richer.
