OK so my brother has an awesome '81 Mustang Cobra that he has decked out and repainted, he finally found a hood scoop that pleases him and he brought it to me to paint, telling me just something with say maybe cobras and skulls, the interior he redid has little skulls all over it, hmmm
I have it for about 5 days and my sister calls and says she is having a gathering at her place for his birthday, oh krap, well I better get busy, may as well do that paint job for him to give him for his birthday, ok I get the news on the 20th, that means I have 2 days to do this, I better get it right!
I found a skull I liked and blew it up on my computer and printed it out to see if I had it the right size for the hood scoop, called him and asked for sure what he wanted, skulls, cobras?
He told me do whatever you want as long as its freaking cool, no worries I said, I can handle that!
now it's time to get the layers going on! doesn't look like much yet does it? you just wait!
I only used 4 colors for this hood scoop, and since his car is blue, I had decided to do a metallic blue for the eyes, white for base, grey for the highlights and shading and black for the detail
there's the beast, isn't it just stunning!!
it's getting there, I think it needs more detail and some scraggley hair or what used to be hair anyway
a little more detail going on
love the eyes
adding some squiggles of hair
moving around a bit so you can see the metallic in the eyes
wicked awesome, he is gonna sooo love this!!
dang, I like it so much maybe I will just keep it HA
all done, just clear coated it and it's good to go, not to shabby for a few hours worth of work if I do say so myself, I like to have a little more time on these kinds of projects but the party was sprung on me last minute, its all good, it IS done and in time too!
I signed it "Breezy" very discreetly
you could say he was very surprised, I think my nephew was wishing it was his LOL
he was thrilled with it!! Just look at him ~ proud as a peacock!
Now to get a photo of it on the car :)
