Guess what I'm doing??
This all started out as a simple project back in March. I bought the Caravaggio Skunk Werkes body kit and the Halltech Carbon Fiber hood. After a few attempts to blend the Mag RedII paint, I decided to just paint the whole frickin' car.

Good job, I painted my hood 4 times and it still doesn't quite match but when I repaint my whole car I'm changing colors (thinking of Tiger shark yellow 
)
BTW when I painted my roof it came out dead on first time, go figure

And people don't understand why you can't paint a new car and have it match
I'm getting a new nose on mine this week and they'll have to "blend" onto the hood and fenders to match.........I'm worried

Love the looks of that hood. Hope you get the car to look as good as it did before.
