Dragster paint, complete

Finally got clear on the dragster pretty much done, need to sand some bugs out and buff but I'm happy with it. Although I'm biased and have low standards lol

Looks great! I'm inclined to think that this was not your first paint job.

Actually first one this big. I’ve painted 2 helmets and a couple little panels. But this first this large.
There’s plenty of flaws… lol but I find I can live with them.

Looks great dude. Hey look  it this way. You probably only one to see them and with money you saved over paying someone to so the job you can lots of other cool toys for the car..

Haha thanks man! I pretty much agree some of the whoopsies I’ll get covered in pinstripes and maybe others with stickers lol
I hope you liked your helmet!

Speaking of pinstripes, did you do the striping too? If you did, THAT is some real artistic talent.
