Re: ‘57 Chevy Funny Car
Originally painted the rear bumper aluminum color, then noticed the front grill is molded in on body. Proceeded to use Molotow Chrome pen for rear bumper last night. Not happy with it. Sitting in bin to strip off paint.
This time, I'll empty the chrome pens and airbrush them instead. I could have used chrome foil but not sure how good adhesive condition they are after sitting in cabinet for 5 years.

Re: ‘57 Chevy Funny Car
I left it alone for 2 days before removing the masking tape.
Im pleasantly surprised and happy I didnt get a single paint bleed. Either I taped it good or the Molotow chrome is thin enough not to bleed under the tape. I know I didnt spray the chrome until 3 days later. Check it out...
Next is do the headlight bevels.

Yep. That looks very nice. I've used that technique as well. Bravo.
