      After 3 days in the paint booth

      We started shooting color on my Nova last Thursday. I spent 9 hours at the shop on Thursday, 14 hours on Friday, and 8 hours today. It's finally all painted, and cleared. I laid out all of the strips and airbrushed all of the graphics myself. I spent all 14 hours in the paint booth Friday doing the graphics. Today was spent fixing all of the little mistakes with the stripes, graphics, and base coats.



      The hood should be finished up tomorrow. The hood had a couple hairline cracks that didn't show up until he started spaying on the color. Fiberglass hoods are a pain.

      The interior had already been painted as well as all of the jams. They should spend the next week or two color sanding and buffing both the interior and exterior.

      Next it will come home for wiring and then back out for interior. I may get it done this year.

      Here are a few pics.

      Very Impressive!!!

      Wow, that's as good as it gets. I bet the body/paint costs would have set you back at least 15-20k if done in a shop with no work by you. That is already the nicest Nova I have ever seen, and it's still not all together yet!

      HOLY SMOKES.. that is sweet, i was just noticing the cage molded into the dash, i bet theres a ton of little things like that you can't see in pictures, i bet in person that car is awsome. i was also noticing you had the car masked to the floor. why would you wanna do that in a down draft booth? i've never tried that what are the advantages?

      Wow that is very nice.
      I am normally not a fan of airbrushed trim, but that is beautiful!
      Great airbrush work.
      Can’t wait to see it unmasked

      That looks sick. Your front bumper turned out soo nice. I remember when you built that and had quite a bit of time into it. The paint scheme is just incredible. I like the yellow/ black separated by the orange line. I really like how you ran it into the jams too. Its the little extra attention to detail that really helps cars get noticed. :icon996:
      Still staring at the detailed air brush work!

      Looks fantastic.
      The final color scheme looks modern and timeless. I've never been too fond of the molded rear spoiler, but the dark color tones it down and makes it work.
      I can't wait to see it on all fours.

      Your airbrushed trim and emblems are works of art. Such talent. Can't wait to see it completed.
