Tails look 100x better...nice work.

I'm interested to see the hood shots...personally I don't like the hood itself, but it looks like a pretty cool paintjob.

Just curious but why did you go with the black hood and teal vents? I think that it would look really cool with the colors reversed (teal hood and black vents). However i do understand that it is your car and everything else looks nice.

I don't like the hood, but I like it with the paint job! Just different, in a good way.

I thought of doing it like that, teal hood-black vents, but a spray can of RD teal paint for Fords is almost $30 for a 12oz can! And my budget was no more than $100 honestly I don't like the hood myself, but screw it, I haven't seen one painted like mine anywhere, not even on here...

Not a fan of the hood but a definite fan of the DIY paint! reminds me of how I painted my own mirrors lol

The hood is definitely different, the tails came out nice.

I'm now in the process of painting some of my engine parts, like the intake and valve covers... I'm thinking wrinkle Paint! I've never used it though, has anyone here used it before?

Tails look good... hood went fairly well. But it fits like shit....

 

[OnyxCobra]

I've used VHT wrinkle paint in black, came out really nice on the valve covers but not as good as I'd hoped on plastic. Apparently a heat gun increases the wrinkle ability. not sure about white though.

The fit is a bit off because I put a 1 inch spacer between my lower and upper intake. I had to put a bunch of washers on the hood hinges otherwise it'd rub against the intake. These pics do no justice on how it really looks in person

I have one valve cover off now, lets see how it ends up. Just also realized Im gunna need new gaskets

I was wondering what was up with the hood. You can fit a 1/2" spacer and still keep the hood at stock height. Just looks broken the way it is now.

thats really not a good pic of the hood though. i can barely see the color.
