I cheated plugged in the space heater in the garage!

Ideal conditions!

Getting painted!

All but finished!yes it's in my tub, one of the best places for light in my house! Lol
I just need to pick up a touch up paint and do the lettering silver and clearcoat the whole thing

Unfortunately I could not exicute the fade... The silver filled in too good to even try... But i think it looks good even without it

My downfall is I don't airbrush, have tried in the past and failed misseriably!

Plus my side buis detailing and working on cars I need to win a chunk of money so I can quit my day job and start doing this kind of stuff all the time!
