Herron Custom Paint

Back
We were brought this new cowl hood and a the original flamed hood as a reference. We painted and flamed this hood to match the original hood only better. 
This hood had to be sanded, some minor bodywork done and then primed. Then the bottom was painted. Then the top was painted and cleared with the dark color. 
After the hood was painted with the dark color top and bottom it was sanded with 1000 grit and then the flames were painted and it was cleared again. 
I wasa told to put SS on both sides of the scoop. 
After the flames were painted and the hood was cleared again it was blocked down to remove tape lines and then polished to a glass finish. 
I had no paint codes to do this job. All I had was the old hood that was on the car. I did not have the car to line up the flames on the new hood either. 
This was a pretty tricky deal with no car to use for fit and no paint codes buit I think we got it pretty close. 
This job was done in all Dupont. Chromabase and Chromapremier clear was used. There was a total of 22 hours in this job start to finish.
