Laid some graphics on my new Z car.

I liked the 350Z as is, but it was missing something. I opened it before bed last night, and I wasn't awake for more than 2 hours before I was knee high in a project.

I added a air dam, and some graphics. Not my best work becaus I had some other stuff to do and was in a hurry, but I'm happy with it.

Did it the same way as in my tutorial, just drew a graphic instead of a flame.

Clear coated the hell out of it. Lucky I didn't screw it up I got so carried away.

And yeah those are the stock rims.

Missed the first round, but I've got some on the way now.

Fuuny almost everytime I post a paint job, someone wishes they had steady hands, like me. Well I gotta tell you my nerves are shot, and my hands shake like a 80 year old man sometimes.

I really think the secret is in my technique I described in my flame job tutorial. I draw. and redraw my graphics over and over, until they look the way I want. Then I trace them so I have one clean line. Once I have my graphic perfect I scan it in, and create a mirror of it in my art program so I have a perfectly symetrical graphic for the other side.

Almost seems like cheating, but since it is still kinda difficult, I could just say I know what I'm doing.
