Great job!

oh yeah...daytime pics soon?
I'm painting my black stuff next, and then its on to the grills... i still need to wet sand and polish everything and disassemble the rear bumper and wing so I can paint some black on there

harbor freight siphon feed for epoxy primer
harbor freight "purple" hvlp for basecoat
vaper 1.4 for clear

my air setup was 2 air tanks linked together (2 25gallon tanks with 2.5 hp motors, setup to run at the same time so its like 5 hp and 50 gallons, with enough cfm to keep up with air sanders {use alot of cfm})

i used ppg shopline for primer and base, and painters pride universal clear

all in all, it came out really good, with a great color match, but i think thats because my oem paint is well taken care of

color match


daylight pictures

Looks real good! You probably don't need to go black on the nostrils... Maybe just a darker shade of silver for some contrast.

If and when i paint them, they will be black, only because my car is silver black and red, dont really want to add a fourth color to the mix... imo, more than 3 colors looks tacky

btw, you car is the reason i bought this hood... have you found anyone to make a ws.Q emplem for the back of the car, like a ws.6 one?

I created a design in Illustrator and had Emblem Pros make them. I have a standard size on one the back and a smaller version on my dash. They can reuse the file for you I'm sure.
