[QUOTE="HISSMAN, post: 3316391, member: 9703"] Here is the basics. Prep everything really well. Sand till your hand falls off. Clean everything in an alcohol wash (what I do). Apply your base coat of black primer. I used 1/8th inch tape to tape off the flame pattern on both sides. I then masked off everything but where the flames were going to be. I then applied two crisp layers of Ford blue where the flames were going to be. I then just barely hit the edges of the flames with a darker color of blue, sort of a true navy ( I think I left this out in the original instructions). I then pealed off the masking and the flame tape. Let it cure for a bit under a heat lamp. Next I then began the primary paint coat of color shift paint. I did about 5-6 super thin coats of this. The color shift paint is a clear paint with crystals in it that refract light to a predetermined spectrum of color, so the more layers, the more of an effect you will have. But you do not want it to be to thick, so just use a dusting per coat, and let it cure till it is just barely tacky then apply the next coat. Once that was done I applied 3 very thin coats of clear. I had planned to wet sand everything and buff it once I was finished, but the job came out perfectly flat and without a need for wet sanding, so I just buffed it really well and called it a day. -Jeff [/QUOTE]
