I removed the hoodliner and hand delivered it. She was really busy so it took about a couple of weeks to complete. She had problems with the pressure on the second and third coats since this was the first one she has ever done. I really like her because she pays attention to detail and if it's not correct she will do it over. If anyone is interested let me know. Now that she knows what pressure to use she said it will be quicker.

Something I should mention....she doesn't get credit for the art work! Someone posted a photo of the logo on here a few months ago and I took it to her to duplicate. I haven't had time to search for the photo to give them credit, but if I remember correctly he airbrushed a batman on someone's hoodliner. They deserve the credit.....Thanks!
