Thanks for the kudos Bruce.
Well there's a big set of thunderstorms moving into the area starting at around 10 p.m. and ending at 3 a.m. so I needed to act pretty quick tonight so I could apply my gloss coat after reapplying the flames this morning. I prepped everything this morning and made sure to clean my paint jar out today at work. So I told my sweet wife and son to give me 30 minutes tonight to accomplish all this. I had one minor hiccup with the Alclad in the paint but think I can overcome it.
N E wayz ..............I couldn't be happier with the outcome and the flames came out EXACTLY how I wanted them to this time. Bold up front and fading at the end of the flames.
Taaa Daaaa........

Thanks Carlos. I'll be gone from Friday till late Sunday so that should be enough time for the cab and the hood to "gas out". Polishing will start on Monday morning. I also received my Molotow Chrome refill in the mail yesterday. Will be shooting the rear wheels then as well.

Thanks Brent and Mark. Everything is going to be curing out over the weekend. I'll be posting while I'm gone from the house but I'll sure miss the building part.

Thanks Kari. It's going to be a busy one that's for sure.............and it's gonna be a lot of fun.
Ok folks. I shot the rear wheels with a coat of Molotow and I've gotta say that I'm impressed. I'll be letting this dry over the weekend as well so when I come back I'll shoot the clear coat of Spaz Stix on to seal them off.
The decal on the bed flooring turned out pretty dang good too and laid down nicely over the molded in detail.

That is some impressive chrome work Joe! Way to go! And you're right, that decal does look extremely realistic in there.
