Thanks fellas..... With the F40 being my favorite super car of all times I always felt she looked her best not in Ferrari red or yellow but in BLACK, a dark glossy black! So now it time to get some paint on the body so guess what color I'll be spraying this beauty? You guessed correctly , Black. So i gave her metal body one last sanding and warmed up the ol air brushes and got busy....I hope you enjoy the pics..... body taken down to bare metal now add a lil primer and some black paint .....clear coat will be added later.... notice I cut the vents out on the body..... I'll have more for ya soon....
