That sounds killer. Pictures never seem to do paint a lick of justice but when you show that panel and say it is the same panel? Balls, that is some cool effect in the paint. I like subtle but I also love how some of the paints today shimmer, shade and change over contours and what better canvas than a classic.
I regret being talked into doing my flames and wish I had a more factory muscle appearance such as I was asking for. The shop swayed me from a white stripe around the nose to the purple flames.
I keep my eye out for cooler shades that resemble the ash gold I see hidden within my car, underdash or undercarpet etc... and I could see myself going back to a factory remenescent hue and adding a black stripe someday. Especially if I found a Pewter/Gold color that makes a change like you just illustrated. That is very alluring.
