Looks cool...I was checking out your car down at the 9/11 tribute run. How many hours do you have in your hood?
Thanks man, I took my time with the first hood. I had never tried using the paint or even painting a car before so it was a definite "well....f*** it, I'll do it" kind of moment.
I took my time planning the locations of pieces and setting up an overall design, which took a couple extra hours, but overall I believe it was about 20 hours over the course of 3 weeks.....that time has obviously sped up quite a bit. The torch red hood, which IMO shows a huge increase in my skill, took about half the time, although it still needs a couple hours plus clear coat.
I can do more than just radiator covers guys! hoods, mirror covers, trunks, wheel lips, underhood accessories, you name it; I want a design on it!
I'm also working on a semi-secret project, but ill let the S197 guys know I've been looking for an Audi R8 owner.... I have the front end of the R8 sitting in my apartment, waiting to get it ready for a car....but i need the car first. Know anyone that got one? Not even necessarily trying to sell the piece, I would really just like a photo shoot with my hood on the car for self promotion. How bout this.....anyone on this board who can find me an R8 owner or car willing to help me out, you will get FREE ARTWORK for your car.
Thanks for reading guys!
