I had to redo the hood 2wice because i didnt like the way the stripes came out but i think these 1s will do

I think the Came out ok....i want do redo the corner a little better.I think i did a horible tape job beacause i had that wide shit.Not the best job i've ever done seeing as i dont have a garage nemore but it came out alright. And regretably i need to redo the front of the hood again :banghead: but w/e.

Hey there, It looks really nice..I think you did a great job! How did you put the stripes down? I am thinking about getting graphics stuck on my hood..maybe tribal or flames*shrugs* Is it hard to do? Or is it best I take it to a Body Shop. And for the front of my cavalier..I have that UGLY grey grill I would like to paint is there a special kind of paint you recomend?

Keep up the good work!

Not something i would have done. I am a very nit picky person and i see you didn't prep very well. But if your happy man... props!

ya, it looks decent.

i think you should take off the hood and fender tho and put some time into them to make them look nice. did u even try to pop out that dent in the fenders? if not, do that THEN bondo it. just make sure u sand EVERYTHING down REALLY good before you do anything else.

actually im gunna redo all the mistakes there like the dents. I really just did it to pass time...and it looks better than the gold paint i think. I didnt do prep work but i dont have a garage to work with so i found a shop that will paint my car for $300 cuz my mom knows them.
