    I used Roth baby (.004 i think) gangreen flake over a Latemodel GM emerald green base. The flake was shot mixed (heavily) with the clear, through a 1.4 tip on my HVLP gun.

    That is different. I cant recall offhand the last time I have ever seen black with green flake flames.

    I'm not normally a flat black fan, but that mix looks killer.

    Last weekend, I decided the decklid looked too black....I wanted to brighten it up, and breakup that big blank
    space a little......The keyhole for the trunk is in the pupil of the eyeball. I also striped the hood tonight, but didn't take a picture.....

    Hoods sorta done, I'm not sure, but I think it needs a little bit more....

    I got spacers for my rear wheels machined, and the wheels installed. I think I am just about done for this year, or at least until the snow starts next fall.

    Just paint, the car came from Wisconsin, and the bumpers were really rough, even had a little rust through in spots. Some day I'll find a good KS donor car that has better chrome and potmetal pieces..........
