I was getting a little tired of my brown DW Set and decides to change it to a deep black. My car-painter proposed to ad some small glimmer into it...i think it looks georgeos - exactly as i wanted....

Kit looks really crisp Bernhard :) Some interesting art, & I'm curious about the hatch / door in the rear wall. Are you on a ship near the coast?

OK, so:

the art: has something to do with the famous Basel Carnival - masks - just put into a picture - many many years ago...just a decoration.

Hatch/door:

It's an air-raid shelter (bunker) - the walls are concret reinforced with steel - one meter thick i suppose. Here in Switzerland every house had to have one of those these last hundred years - now the law is gone and we use them...for rehearsal or storing wine....

Aha! That explains it. 1 Metre thick walls certainly guarantees no neighbour issues!! :)

Anyhow, the kit looks very clean & classy in black.
 
Your car-painter did an awesome job. Nice.​
 
Great transformation, he did a beautiful job on those.
I've always wanted the DW color "Superman's hair" that was offered back in the early nineties. Unfortunately they no longer have that available to order.
 
It just looks simple, clean, correct all at once. nice setup!
 
What a great idea-have an auto painter do it-it looks like a lacquer finish and a flawless paint job. Stunning-love the sparkle addition too. Looks really really classy.
 
Very nice , the glimmer thing is a great touch.
Did he sand the shell before or just painted over the transparent brown ?

I wanted to re-paint my bass drum hoops, and was actually wondering about a car painter.

They look great! I painted two drums black a couple of weeks ago. Mine do not look as good as yours. Peace and goodwill.
