To get the effect that I wanted, which was a fade from light on the outside to dark on the inside, we loaded up some clear with a silver pearl. With a detail gun we then just sprayed the outside edges until we started to see some color arrive. This took 4 coats. I then masked off the border stripe which is an 1/8 inch, and then shot the color over the main stripe. I couldn't find a candy purple that I liked so we started mixing up something until I got the color I wanted, and then we thinned it down with more clear to make it transparent. After we were done, we got the bright purple over the pearl and the dark color over the black. Once it was cleared it really popped.

Looks great so far. You obviously put a lot of time and effort into replacing all those panels. And you learned a lot

Those of us that have done work like that ourselves ,on a hobby level , have a respect for the trial and tribulations you've undergone to accomplish all of that. Keep us informed as to how this turns out.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm not foolish enough to say that the quality is equal to DSE and several other shops, but it's turning out good and satisfies me. I'm just making sure that what you can see looks as good as possible.
