  • Re-painted my hood

    Had a minor scratch on it from this past March, but instead of touching it up, I had bigger plans in-mind :naughty:

    Took me 3 weeks, $110 worth of bodywork equipment, paint, and clearcoat. Thoughts...?

          Yep. I've had some practice with painting LS2 manifolds on another site, so I figured I try my skills on something a bit larger. The deep scratch was killing me, but I "almost" was happy when it happened because I knew it gave me the oppertunity to try custom flames.

          I'm leaving for a few days tomorrow morning. I'll try to post up some more pics when I get home on Sunday evening. Going on a drinking trip to Rehoboth Beach, DE with a bunch of friends...and no wives allowed :bowdown:

              Yeah, that'll be either during the winter or even next spring. It took up too much "summer time" already ;)

              Thanks!

                  Looks good , I would of liked to see what black ghost flames would of looked like on it. I'm not a fan of red flames but as long as you like it thats what matters. Looks like a great job from the distance pics, like posted need some up close and personal pics of it.LOL

                          Marc that turned out really nice man. I can't wait to see it in person! Great job!

                          Where did you get the 'equipment'......body prep/paint work is on my list of things to learn, we have a 33 gal compressor that I think would do the job for some small stuff and I've been eyeing some cheap tools at harbor freight for a spray gun.
