Default Dropping the car off for paint
I am dropping my car off today for the front bumper & headlight doors to be repainted, the whole car is getting color sanded & buffed. Will post pictures when complete ... if it isn't a disaster. haha

Shooting a Candy Apple Red over a Silver base in a Ghost pattern. Starting very light at the front, and heavier for the tips & edges. We will see if what I see in my mind is what the effect will be on the hood. lol

I like the subtleness of the flames, and the clean work but it kinda looks like your car's nose is running.

I like conservative styling. This is as wild as I get with styling.
