We first crossed paths with the "friendly giant" from Sweden at our Mr. Serious x Loop Colors jam in Roosendaal. Having followed his fast, fresh style through countless videos online, we knew he was the perfect heavyweight for our Dutch train series. After a few legendary painting missions together, the collaboration was born.
We asked Dart165 to take on the SGM (Stadsgewestelijk Materieel), a iconic Dutch train model nearing the end of its service. Dart had a specific vision: he wanted a copper effect inspired by one of his favorite beer cans. Since digital printing couldn't capture that metallic soul, we went manual.
The result is a masterful 3-layer silkscreen print produced by CTRL-ZETTA. We opted for a sophisticated Bronze ink—not too flashy, but with a stunning shimmer in the light—paired with deep Blue and Black.
