From masking to pulling off the overspray film was about 2 hours. I use a hairdryer to speed the drying process. Does not include cutting out the body which I do first. Simple paint job using an airbrush and Faskolors.

you two copycatters...lol... Looks awesome! Nice work for sure! Were ya meaning to go that fast or it just happen? Looks hella nice though. Nice work!
 
Looks good. Same with zandor, i have spent hours on a lid and did not come out that great(my acid lid)...
 
NIce paint, always had a problem painting flames, just dont seem to be able to get then looking right, maybe i need some lessons from a pro huh !!!!
 
very nice. love the color combo. did u use a precut mask or hand draw out the flames?
 
Takes me 2 hours to put the window masks on and its down hill from there.
If I drive to your house and have you do a body for me it would be a 2 and a half hour paint job.

I'm on my way.
 
Just make sure it has pre-cut window and graphic masks.
 
Thanks for the kind words everyone.

I did use pre-cut vinyl masks from xxx main. It make it go much easier and faster. If I had to use liquid mask on the inside and cut that stuff by hand, it would be a 2 week job.

It also helped that I was using those parma bottle adapters so I can spray the paint straight out of the faskolor bottles. That, in combination with some faskleaner to clean the airbrush while changing colors, made the painting process go quick.
 
very nice color combination and masking are A++ nice color combination ..
