Default My C3 Paint Job - another Picture

Still at the Body shop, comming home today. Hood will say for the stinger to be painted black.
Then I will sand the care to get it ready for Airbrushing. Then it will go back to the body shop for clear.


The black is on the hood. Need to sand it with 1000 and then several coats of clear will be put on it when the rest of the car is shot.

OK Now sanded the hood and it was clear coated again, color sanded and compounded:


Rear bumper has the corvette airbrushed on it and then cleared:

What's the plan for airbrushing? Skulls and horror scenes is what so many people put all over cars, seems to me I'd get tired of it if I owned it.

WOW, that color is beautiful. Personally, I would be afraid anything other than painting the stinger hood black would ruin a fine paint job and color, however I'm sure you have thought this out and know exactly what you're doing. Good luck and thanks for posting.
