Hows This Color Combo???

[The WidowMaker]

well i scuffed up the hood and shot it with a few colors to see how i would like it. i didnt fix any of the imperfections and i shot it outside so its a little rough. plus i didnt wait for my tape window so i pulled a little of the silver. but, its going to get sanded off anyways, so it doesnt really matter.

the silver is the same one that i used on the suspension, and the red on the left is spi's torch red. the one on the right is a mix of the spi red (whats on the frame) and the spi torch 1:1. the one on the left, the torch, is a little more orange, whereas the right is a little more pink. not sure which one im going to go with.

the clear layed down pretty good, but i really hosed it on a i think i got a little urethane peel as opposed to the orange peel. i had the fan really narrow and it was pushing the clear to the sides as i sprayed. it would even up, but not totally. next time im going to widen up the fan a lot.

sooooooo, what do you guys think about the color combo? before i sprayed it, i thought i would want the silver darker, but now im not sure. i dont know how im going to make the stripes yet, but this was a good way to compare the colors, and i actually like it. jason rushforth is doing a rendering, so ill just pick a stripe option and shoot it.

ANY!!!! opinions are welcome

thanks, Tim
