Leaf,Lace,Scallops and Cobwebs.

Gold Leaf !
Lace !
Scallops !
Cobwebs !

I shot some cobwebs on a van or two back in the day. Straight lacquer from a distance left a pretty cool image. Multiple clear coats to level it and there you are. I would suspend it in clear, sort of.
Base coat, couple of clear coats, shoot the cobwebs and cover it with more clear. Wet sand and buff.

How about some images and pictures of some really cool paint jobs and trick stuff, maybe even how it's done, from the days of old.

Not anything new.

Check how the word BOGUS is faded behind the owner's name.
Pretty cool for the times.

I have these same pictures in mt Race Car Build section. Along with being a legal I/SA I will be racing in N.E.T.O. which is a nostalgia racing club here in the northeast. I painted the car in a 60's - 70's theme. Hard to tell in the pics is the overall metalflake throughout. Since these pictures I have wet sanded/buffed and added all brightwork, bumpers, ect. I am going to attemp a real Gold Leaf lettering (not vinyl) for the name which will be "Crunchtime"
