Remember this one from a few days ago? (pic)
Some of you encouraged me, so here's what this MM '32 Packard phaeton looks like now:
No close ups! The painting was done free handed, and I'm just not as good as many of you are. But I've been having fun. More results in coming days.

David...I Like The Color Contrast! When I Paint Freehanded,
I generally try to "mast" the area right up to the edge. I
simply wait until the paint has well dried and gently pull the masting tape away and in most cases I get a real nice
clean line. Just a suggestion for future ventures. But what
the hey, you're having fun, right?! :))

David, that's a bid improvement! You can always use a washer as a guide, then trace the outer......
..edge with a black Sharpie. Even if you don't, these wheels look much better.
