that's so georgous. the lace stripes (im color blind so they look purple to me) aren't really my deal, but i can DEFINATELY respect the effort and time put into them!

truely a custom and BEAUTIFUL car!

I've seen the lace effect before and it looks really cool. I see you did a base of black and an overspray of purple. Was the purple a pearl paint or a regular base coat and how many passes did the painter make over the lace with the purple?

Thanks
