it's just hand paint. base plastic is white, so paint whole head cover semi-gloss black then rub the black paint on 'corvette' letters and paint them red.

Very stylish looking machine, great work Kunta!

What did you use for the black wash? Looks very effective.

Im really looking forward for the pict. As much as i like corvettes i will be awsome to see. :)

damn...that's just silly

:eek: Unbelievably spectacular!

C:eek2: :eek2: L

Phil, you also did great effective work on your Peugeot 206's differentials. ;)
in case of my way. first, apply flat aluminum(acrylic) by airbrush.
then paint grooves and corners diluted flat black(enamel) by hand brush. after flat black paint is dry, soak a swab in enamel thinner just a little and wipe off the flat black paint.

wow awersome.... look so great.... you will be one of the master here :D

Looks sweet, you love your Corvettes don't you? This will look great when done.

Do look great.
