blunc Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 You could try taking a profile foto and photoshopping colors on it to see what looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 How about black with a red-pearl-in-clear topcoat? It would be subtle yet dramatic when you walk around it, flashing red-pearl highlights to show off the sculptural bodywork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Very interesting build and nice body work going on. I can't wait to see how you do the front end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennyboy Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 I've always wanted to know how to paint this effect. Any tips? Thanks (yep, noobie!) Any time I have done something like this, I used a pearl powder added to the intercoat clear before the clear topcoat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyboy Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Very interesting build and nice body work going on. I can't wait to see how you do the front end. Thank you, the front grille will be created with rods to resemble billet. The front suspension however, that is going to be interesting.

Kennyboy Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 Hey guys! Got some more progress on this build...... Front grille soldered.....the black is only sharpie. Had to make new mounts for the rear suspension due to the MUCH larger wheels. Finally sitting on four wheels! Comments are welcome. Thanks!
