My first color is laid down, which is Ford Ruby Red and it lights up in the sun. Going to wet sand and reassemble the body to the chassis this weekend and layout the stripes. First of the week shoot the silver stripes and reclear the whole car. It is the first time Ive done tri color paint and I guess it is beginners luck (thanks to you tube videos and asking a lot of questions from people I know who do this), but it came out beautifully and all the panels match perfectly. I'm really excited to get it done.152413. I really have the utmost admiration for guys who do this for a living. It's an amazing amount of time it takes to do all this well.
Beautiful! Can't wait to see more.

Good on ya' man! :cool: You know, you can save yourself some effort and lay out the stripes off the chassis by laying the hood & trunk in their holes and equalizing their gaps...but you know what they say about skinning cats ;)
Good luck; can't wait to see it with stripes!
