Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
I searched the shop but couldn't find my airbrush. It's been a long long time since I'd used it and I guess it's not gonna get used this time. I masked off a stripe area on one side of the hood scoop and thought I'd see if I could get enough control with an aerosol can to make some fish scales. It didn't go very well. Without some means to reduce the flow rate and pressure, it was putting on way too much paint. The flash time between each row of scales would have to be pretty long to prevent making smears with my template. I took the paint back of with some thinner. I still had the lace to try. Because it will receive a more even pattern of paint, I might have more success.
