Just gonna tape it as i go, keep doing sketches going away then coming back to them and it looks wrong.

Bad ass, where'd you find Jesus lace??? I normally pull the big panels of say lace then let it get busy around that. Shame your not closer, I'd come give you a hand. Lace can be a pain in the chuff to lay flat over big areas. Make sure you got someone with as much patience as you do when masking. Look forward to seeing the holy roof! Here's a few pics of my latest creation for inspiration, my little bros impala  . Did one attempt and hated it, after a whole day and night of me n bro masking, painting and arguing  then I sent every one home and locked the doors and two days later it looked much better   And the roof that never was!! I hated it  |

Your brothers Impala looks spot on now, quite a transformation!

Paint bought black base with a purple pearl then satin laquer but found a fist sized rust hole on the tailgate, common on B3's i know. Also trial fitted some bullet centre caps, bit big but will be fine with bandies. Pics to follow! |

so a couple of quick pics till i get some better ones. It turned out alot glossier than i wanted but i don't mind. Needs a good polish now and the wheels i painted fitting.  Here you can just see the fade i put in round the bottom of the car.  |

It's been ages since I've seen a fade like that on a car, great thinking. Purple cars are for winners anyway.

Thattturned out pretty kool! I'm gonna admit that i didnt like the scallops a tiny bit A lot nicer now. For what its worth i'd see it much better with some deep dish rims with polished barrels and painted centers. But thats just my taste. Kool wagon! |
