Foxer Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) Those skirts look great. How did you form the bubble in them? Looks like maybe .02" sheet and just bent and glued? Edited November 12, 2011 by Foxer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazdat Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 Finally got some color on the 2nd Merc, the color wasn't what I wanted , but it still looks ok I think. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Pugh Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I like the color. What are you not wild about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazdat Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 I like the color. What are you not wild about? It was suppose to look more blue than purple, and when the light hits it, the red pearl was suppose to show. I was looking at it last night, the red pearl does show at certain angles, and the green pearl, it actually looks pretty good. I still have to clear it.

W-409 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I must say, that I like that body shaping very much. It's clean and especially that look of the frontend is really nice, fender skirts are very good looking too. Nice paintjob, and I can see that bodywork is done nicely. Smooth paint and rough bodywork doesn't fit together, but this model doesn't have that kind of problems. Great color, very shiny and smooth.
