so this was my first attempt at painting my car. never done anything like it before what you think.

before



during




where i backed into my friends car lol











after








then thought it was missing something so i bought some red ghost pearl, but it turned out to be more pink and purple than red so i went and bought some red air brush pearl and put it on top

ghost pearl



red pearl



i wanted to put the dragon on the hood with a racing stripe down the back, but instead of the typical racing stripe i put it on like a trail of blood






















yeah i know the dragon messed up it ripped the black and clear coat when i pulled the tape off but this was all trial and error ill be going to school for it in the fall.

It looked decent with the black only before the red paint and dragon were added. I think you should rewind back a step and it'd be good again.
