We're taping off the racing stripe, I was nervous about painting over the carbon fiber hood.

Laying the paint.

Bright silver metallic.

Looking real nice! Did you seal the entire car before paint for consistency under the silver base? It looks like you just shot the hood but the body was a grey primer? Do you just paint carbon? Just wanting to learn. When does the clear go on? Nice progress!!

The paint and body was really good on the car(had to replace the lower fenders because of a bad repair) so we just sanded and spot primed the car before paint. The hood was totally scotch padded for paint and final clear coat to aid in wet sanding the stripes to get a smooth finish.

Here we layed a metallic black in the center of the racing stripe to mimick the center of the stripe that left the carbon fiber exposed on the hood, probably getting the CF trunk lid this fall.

Here are the pics of the Camaro I promised... sorry I kept everyone waiting.
I have to thank Matt at Anvil auto for the amazing looking hood and fender braces, the fit and finish was terrific

Now I need a lower grill for the car, after I took it out of the grill opening to take a pic of the car it fell apart in my hands

Hope it was worth the wait!
