| Oh, that's just a kick in the teeth. Incompatible paints, or did something else go sideways on you?
Web looks good. Reverse mask? | |

| Tremclad Clear over tremclad Gloss black. The gloss blacks needs a huge flash time apparently. I threw the Candy over it just so see how it would look. The Result. I looked at it, not real happy. I'll see what else I can come up with. | |

| The paint is the issue. I screwed up in using tremclad. Proper prep is always the issue, even when dealing with spraybombs
tremclad is fine for frames.
This sample is a combination of tremclad black over duplicolor high performance wheel paint, under duplicolor clear.
Paint the whole hood the shiniest silver you can, I used duplicolor high performance wheel paint, aluminum.
Throw a coat of clear over it to seal it. duplicolor gloss clear.
I layed out the web using 1/4`wide masking tape over the aluminum clear coat.narrow masking tapes can be bent as they are layed down. It was all done free hand.
Once I had it all layed out. I sprayed gloss black over everything. Heres where the tremclad comes in Then I pulled all the masking tape.
That left me with the silver web.
Then I sprayed clear over it, which is where this paint job messed up.
the black wasn;t dry enough, i sprayed too soon.
Then I threw a coat of duplicolor metelcast red over top to give me the blood red lines. another coat or three of clear and it would have been kickass.
Also i`ve found that throwing the candy colors over black tends to give the black parts a slight tinge of the candy color..

| Ok, your method was exactly what I expected. It's too bad it took a dump on you, as it would have been quite nice. I've had enough paint jobs go south that I never mix types/brands of paint anymore. There's some combos you can get away with, but I HATE redoing stuff, so I don't chance it.
Guess you have to sand/strip the whole schmeer now? | |

Guess you have to sand/strip the whole schmeer now? Poly stripper is a wonderful thing, It should only take a couple of hours to strip the paint, plus a couple more weeks of alternating paint coats and drying time. I'm going to stick to all duplicolor paints this time. Twice as much money, half the work. | |

| Finished the paint. Pretty much finished now, except for the fuel tank, heat shield for the exhaust, and possible wheelie bars. | |

| I have the heat shield figured out, the piece is cut, need a few minutes with the hole saw.
The fuel tank has a bottom end, and fuel outlet welded in, but needs a filler neck, top end, and vent.
Wheelie bars are next after that. And I almost forgot, I have a piece of poly cut to fit the cavity on the nose.
Trying to decide what to do with it.
On a side note, I put a new bumper and grill on the van today, cost me 150 bucks. Bitch is on these units, the rad support is a structural member, I had tom use a hydraulic jack to pull out the rad support.

| bendy pipe is expensive, but in cases like yours is a hole lot easier to get that instead of bending pipe. cool guard. | |
