Hey guys.

Here's a '67 Shelby I'm currently working on. The paint will be an LSU Tigers theme.

The Shelby was painted white first, then the mask was applied and a coat of orange was sprayed.


I put the model in front of a fan and then cleaned the airbrush and got ready to shoot black. After about 15 minutes, I put on the orange mask and shot the black.


After cleaning up, I peeled away the masks. Here's the finished image.


I've since put on a coat of dullcoat and let it dry outside. I'll then start phase two of the paint.

Nice hood. Did you happen to take photos of the progress. That has the makings of a great Step by Step for painting and masking.

The emblem looks great too.
One question - how are you going to mask it off to paint the overall color?
