Painted my bowtie what do you guys think.

Well last night I got bored yet again, and decided to paint my bowtie so I went to the parts house and they had the duplicolor chameleon paint for like $20 so I said what the heck and bought that. I think it turned out awesome and it goes from a very dark blue almost black all the way to gold depending on the light. Any way what do you guys think?? I was also thinking about doing my headlights with this same paint seeing as how I still have almost full cans of paint. Took me about 3hrs total from removal to clear, then I let it sit in the sun for about 3hrs this morning to be sure it was dry.


anyway what do you guys think all opinions are welcome.






These are only a few of the colors that comes out of it

looks cool, i like how the blue color actually matches the car at some angles, and then is completely different at others,
Looks good,

I don't care about the bowtie. I want to know how you took a picture in the future.

Thanks for all the compliments guys I was hoping it would look good, and took a chance on it. It tuened out well, the only thing is it takes a while for someone to notice the color changes I have ben askes twice today how come I have a purple and red bowtie then I point out it changes color from the light angle and they think its the coolest thing ever.

And bumblebee I will get pics from farther away when the car is clean lol

I like it, and I think that the headlight idea might be sick... Never seen anything like that before.
