On one of the airbrush boards I frequent, I read a funny post. An artist was hired to paint a restored car to look like it did before the restoration. By this, the owner meant to replicate dents, rust throught, rust bubbles, etc. The artist did a pretty good job. I could only imagine one of our own 914 maniacs doing the same.

Here's how I do a decent job at replicating CF....
Get yourself some toolbox padding. You know the stuff... Kobalt® 22.5" Zerust Drawer Liner http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=true...me=096523911404 I use black as the undercoat, and then pick up a silver and a white. Paint whatever surface black. When it's dry, lay down the drawer liner, and LIGHTLY mist it with white. DO NOT move the drawer liner. Now lightly mist it with the silver. Then, a VERY light Black. Now it's safe to remove the drawer liner. Let that dry, hit it with 5-6 coats of clear, and you are in good shape. From 5ft, it looks DEAD ON! |
