Well I was bored today, and decided to paint and cobweb the top covers to my air cleaners on my crossram, this is how my firewall on my 55 chevy is going to look like, but the body work isnt done yet, so i sprayed these for the hell of it, im going to also run the intake on the car, i know it is not the best work in the world, but hey im happy with it lol, i hope yal like it, enjoy! 9.jpg[/IMG]
Just unreduced lacquer paint, low pressure, and a far distance, could use some wet sanding, and a few more coats of clear.
A friend of mine and I were standing next to his 27 T hot rod coupe with cobweb panel Kandy blue paint on his fenders that he built in the 70's .We were at the drags and two young guys ( about 18 or so ) spotted it and said they were blown away with the cool paint job.One of them said this guy is going to start a new fad. After they left we got a good laugh since it was painted 38 years ago. I just hope bell bottoms don't come back,LOL. Don't get me wrong I like crazy stuff like this.Back in the 70's we use to go to the fabric store and buy lace fabric to spray Kandy paint through for designs on cars,LOL. It was a crazy time for custom paint.
Well lol it will be kinda hard for it to come back, laquer paint is not easy to come by, im just lucky my dad has a gallon of black stored away lol, on top of little pints of different colors.
