Did you spray right over the clear on the hood, or did you redo the whole hood?

no i only painted the stripes , and yes sprayed over the old clear , just cut it down with 600 and then wet sanded with 600 and sprayed . the rest of the paint on the hood is the old stuff .

Then did you clear the whole hood over the stripes and the black base or just clear where you did the stripes?

Looks sweet.

nope just cleared the stipes , i wanted to clear to whole hood but took the easy route :eek: they actually blend in really well .

Trent, those actually look kinda cool. Nice job! Please dont do the grill, though.

If you're so bored, you could come to Michigan on vacation and help me get my truck finished.....:rofl:

you can see the tape line , but it looks fine .as long as its a nice clean edge it is ok with me.............. but had to remove the tape before fully cured to get it . and used a thin plastic tape like used to do flames for the edges .

wow...holy crap trent that looks AWESOME!!!

leave it just like it is, dont do the grille!!

If it were a lighter color, I dont think Id like the stripes, but the black and dark gray is subtle and looks really badass. Nice work.
