I finally started shooting some paint on the trunk lid. I can tell that I'm not nearly as steady as I was 3 decades ago. Air brushing is always a layering process. Often it's not until all the various layers and details are added that you can really decide whether or not you like your designs. So far it's not exactly impressive. Doing stripes and outlines without a decent pinstripe brush is near impossible. A good clear coat over everything will often add depth and even up the finish enough to help flaws disappear. By the time the rest of the details are added I'm hoping it looks better. If not, - well it's just the drag car and I can always strip the deck lid and start over.
