dude, first post with the skirt, I thought dear oh dear - but not only is the concept & execution utterly brilliant, your girl is a true artist!

Now, if she could work your contribution into the final product, very very subtly, that would also be brilliant!!

One other thing, have you tested clearcoat over that finish on a bit of scrap or a spare panel? Looks like permanent marker - I'm worried the solvents in the clear would make the marker run - And I would be gutted if that happened - I really want to see the finished product!!

otherwise, kudos to you my man. top effort.

(and your lady!)

amazing work by an amazing girlfriend ...

Nigel-Power · 8th February 2010, 11:23 PM

Is that a permanent marker she is using?

fantastic work mate, keep it up.

thanks guys! and to answer a question posted above. I've been clearcoating the parts as she finishes them. I found out on the first part that the clear would destroy the marker if laid on too thick. the GTR grill bled everywhere. it actually has to be redone, but that was a quick learning experience. when I lay the clear now, I basically just spray a mist over the part 3 times 10 minutes apart. after that I can lay down a slightly thicker coat, then 20 minutes later another. then I let that dry over night, then I go over the parts with two more coats that can be laid down in a normal fashion. takes forever, but it would take longer to redo all of it if I messed it up somehow, so I'm just being extraaaaaaa careful.

its having a clear coat laquer on top will be as durable as any paint

BenGTR · 9th February 2010, 04:08 PM

I was just about to say, put some clear wrap on it, no need to worry about damaging the paint - job done.

G40tee · 9th February 2010, 06:11 PM

when i first saw this i thought it was tacky and OTT but now i have seen the full pictures the car looks insane!

fair play to your misses, she is very talented!
