Title: The Eyes Don't Have It.
Post by: VWPANZER1 on April 08, 2012, 11:07:10 PM

My original intent was to produce Scowling eyes on the hood of Old Blue (my 59 VW Beetle). After several attempts at various looks and I was never happy with any of them, I finally did away with them altogether. I fine sanded out the residue and bottom of the flames. Reshot the blue (you can do that with lacquer. Added bolt on louvers and restriped the flames. A finall shooting it over with clear lacquer and I'm happy with the new look.
