[QUOTE="DutyCalls, post: 16236726, member: 81667"] A few weeks ago, I scooped up a Cervini Cobra R hood. I originally was just going to get the hood painted, but i decided to do the whole car so it would match better....and i had a few blemishes and bad spots to take care of.[ATTACH=full]1583597[/ATTACH] Stripping it down [ATTACH=full]1583598[/ATTACH] I decided to do some custom paintwork underneath the hood, so I got some templates made up and we layed them on top of some silver flake. [ATTACH=full]1583599[/ATTACH] And covered it in black [ATTACH=full]1583600[/ATTACH] Things were starting to snowball now....since we were repainting the car, I wanted to see if we could roll the rear fenders. I was originally running 335/30R20s on my custom widened forgestar F14s 20x11.75 rims. They fit, but they did rub occasionally and they did stick out from the fender about 1/8th inch. I was hoping to get just enough to cover the wheels, but it was going so well, we ended up flaring the rear quarters about 5/8" . After some reasearch and some calculations, I now had enough room to fit some 345/30R20s...which are about 3/8" wider than a 335....with a small wheel spacer. [ATTACH=full]1583601[/ATTACH] Mounted on car and test fitting. this is a 3mm spacer(.118")....i ended up going with a 1/4" spacer [ATTACH=full]1583602[/ATTACH] In the booth getting painted. we did the black base coat with 2 coats of clear, wetsanded the whole car and did 2 more coats of clear. [ATTACH=full]1583603[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1583604[/ATTACH] Then began the polishing [ATTACH=full]1583605[/ATTACH] I also had the headlights and fog lights lightly smoked [ATTACH=full]1583606[/ATTACH] Final results I'm really happy with how it turned out [ATTACH=full]1583607[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1583608[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1583609[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1583610[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1583611[/ATTACH] The flare are so subtle you wouldnt know they wernt factory.
