    NO DENTS DAVE!!! :D

    B.A.D. That is a good looking car, but you can tell the rust was added on top of the factory paint then matte cleared... When I start spraying the clear's (strong emphasis on the plural there) the effect of doing it this way will make Nate's heart stop again! (Too soon?)

    Like they use to do with the Bugs in the 70's. You could make a bug look like almost anything back then.

    Dick, that ghost image was really bugging me, so I blew it up as much as I could. An old girlfriend of yours, perhaps? :eek6:

    The stencils I had made for the fenders are being cut today...
    Not going to be a direct overlay of paint like the door graphics... Its going to be something totally different in the application and appearance, your gona need to hunt to see them... ;)

    How could they be? MINI bumper covers are plastic.

    Haven't made my mind up if I am painting or camping this weekend. Well my campin buddies haven't made up their minds.

    If I get the base coats on the fenders and cowl this week, it would work out great for me... That lets me do the clears next weekend when the roommates and dogs are out of town. No interruptions and full creative freedom. ;)

    Ok so I have been done for a couple hours... But I just cant get off my ass and stop staring at it to take some pics! :)

    Decided against doing the clears until I get the bumper caps, because I am going to be adding candies and want a perfect match on that step.

    So, as soon as they arrive, the front will need to be modded to take advantage of a FMIC, and they will be base coated soon after. :D

    I will at some point try to get some edits done, and post some good pic's... Just need to remove myself from this chair first!
