I really like the Impala - the brown is different and in a good way - great work.

Nice work and it looks great. Thanks for showing how to make the fine line tape. I was wondering how you got them so small. Going to have to give it a try myself.

Thanks everyone. I know this type of paint job isn't everyone's taste, but you can take the idea into building 60's and 70's customs, and even take the taping method into doing flames and scallops. Just a thought. But it is fun to do none the less!

As usual, you guys make me want to throw myself through a window. I thought I was being clever wiring up an engine and building some door hinges. When I see the talent on this forum, I don't know whether to throw my hands in the air and give it all away, or knuckle down and try to replicate what I see.

 

This paintwork is some awe-inspiring stuff. I have to give it a go, but I'll never embarrass myself by posting my results, lol.
