Thanks!

I liked the viper blue as well. Liked this color just a little more. Can't wait to see the car with the charcoal color and some clear on it.

The thread regarding the fuel fillers at the gas station reminded me that I wanted to do this.....

Thanks Dutch and Bob - Steve keeps wanting to put "fire" on the car, but I can't do it.

He said he could do a ghost flame in blue candy but fire just isn't my thing for this car (maybe if I had a street rod or something). He worked me for about 15 minutes but I had to turn him down....I think what I have now is about as far outside the norm as I want to go. It should pop pretty well as is.

Thanks guys, the stripe is painted on with airbrush work over the top of it. Steve said that the shadow effect for each part of the stripe will make it look like the stripe is "floating" over the color when it gets some clear on it. I'm curious to see how far he got today since my car is the only car in the paint area of the shop, he said that he was going to work all day on it. Maybe I'll see it again tomorrow or Friday, not sure yet.
