Alright, the last and most important graphic!



One of the things I like to do is finish off the paint lines on the canopy opening. It only take a few minutes and adds that extra bling.



Here are a few final shots before the clear is shot. I still have to finish and paint the wing struts.

The canopy is not straight black. I hit on a combination a that really looks exceptional in the sun. I first shoot it with black and then lay a pretty heavy coat of HOK red candy with red Metajewels. The black stripe on the fuselage is painted the same way with silver pinstripes on the edges.

The real key to one of these type of paint jobs is to really focus on all the little small imperfections and FIX them. It's amassing how long it takes to clean up all those little spots. I spent about six hours just fixing stuff on the fuselage and still have a few more to go.

Next...clear, cut and buff.

BTW, I used 38 different masking films on the whole plane. Close to over the 40 some I used on the Evolaris.
