it is alot easier not redoing the red because i would have had to blend into the fenders to make it look good and the edges by the tape dont have much primer on it because you dont want to build up a hard edge and the whole hood was cleared to get rid of any edge that was there from doing the black.

Im tellin ya trying to lay racing stripes down and keep the lines even and symetrical and straight down a damn long hood was so frustrating. And with the car being white its hard to see the body line down the center of the car

Buddy of mine finally finished his blazer, this is almost the exact color I wanted to paint my car. But since iv been reconsidering and leaning twords a nice metallic blue. This is a dark silver basecoat, with candy orange layed over it and Gold mica-pearl mixed in the candy as well. He two-toned it black and put orange candy as well as the gold in the black. One of the best paint jobs I have seen that rolled out of our class.









He is going to wetsand the whole thing and reclear it. He says theres some imperfections on the hood. And he wants to put a coat of orange candy over his rims and wants to play with his front grill and ****. but its basically done
