Painting the Mirage...6 years into it.

[Blueovalz]

Second Act: At this rate I should finish sometime around New Years. Fortunately, this panel was the largest and most complicated in terms of prepping and shooting. The next two, and other door should be easier. Then I can start into the fun stuff, and start playing with the decals, roundels, and numbers. BTW, it's official...I suck at painting. What used to be a considerable amount of pride in my ability, has turned into a shadow of the shadow of a paint man that I was. Part of this is the paint now days has no semblance to what I used to use 15 years ago. Yellows and oranges used to cover in 2 coats. This took 5 to get proper coverage. It's also too hot to be painting in the afternoon. Morning shoot this weekend for the dash cover or middle panel should help. These photos make the orange look a little more red, and less yellow than it really is.
