we had a break in the weather today and I was able to paint the Cabronita. I ended up going with Toreador Red metallic. What do you guys think? No clear coats on it yet. Just color.

Not a fan of red anything, but that does look slick. I like how the grain shows through just enough to give it a bit of "warmth". Nice job!

Thank my girlfriend for that. When I was working with my scrap pieces I didnt use a primer and it looked really good so I decided to roll with it.

thanks everyone. Its my first time doing a finish and I was worried it would look like complete and total arse.

Re: got the Cabronita painted!!
yeah it will come out a bit more once it is clear coated. It would prolly come out alot more if I had put more coats on. Here check out my scrap work. I found a place where you can get ghost flakes to mix in with the clear. I thought about adding a bit more in some of the clear coats but not sure. Thought of a ghost gold.

Re: got the Cabronita painted!!
yeah it may turn out to be a disaster but I thought if i can mix it super light. Just enough to make it shine when the light hits it. May be kind of pimpin
Thats why you always practice on scrap first.
