Wow that turned out really nice. Not a big fan of green, but hey if it looks good, why not.

well this project is getting started over. after laying the dark green pearl, i went to mask it today for step 3 of the paint and the paint just came off in flakes when i was trying to make a mask line. come to find out the paint i grabbed out of the enamel section at my hs, was an acrylic paint. i dont know if this combination caused this to happen, i dont remember if i added thinner to it. if i did it was enamel thinner, so that may have caused this to happen.
i dont know. either was i am going back with and enamel on enamel paint job. so it might not be green for the 2nd color this time. i need to let the body dry off and do some more sanding before i can lay the base coat again.

well after the painstaking task of bringing it back down to bare, i got a few coats of chrome laid again. but i ran out of paint so i am going to have to go pick some more up. and hopefully i find the dark green pearl in an enamel.

taking this a different direction from original. couldn't find an enamel pearl green so i got something in mind. it will still have green in it. but you will have to wait and see on it.

do you have an air brush? i think it would be sweet if you found a mettalic green or whatever color you want to airbrush a little line from the bottom all the way around that fades almost like steam coming off water ya know but on the side of your car.
