First up no I didn't paint the roof, although I did do most of the prep work. Candy is good BUT you need to know how to spray it to avoid patchiness.... I'm lucky to have a mate who used to paint for a living and loves candy and metalflakes.....
Here's a quick how to...
Step 1.
Paint base colour first, spray chief silver base (extremely metallic/fine metalflake)
Step 2.
Mask up basic design, in this instance I wanted two panels.
Step 3.
Lay out material (lace, or in this case teraleens, you know that white stuff hanging in ya windows!) or whatever it is that has your chosen patern.
It doesn't need to be masked that much, just enough to hold it being careful not to distort the pattern. Mix some black in with the silver base then apply
a couple of light coats, remove the material and do a light coat or two around the edge to give it some definition.
Step 4.
Apply candy till a required shade is achieved.
Step 5.
Apply numerous coats of clear for depth!
And voila.....Instant cool
All up there are about 15 layers of paint from the silver up through to the clear
and about 3 hours of cutting and buffing....
