Thanks for the kind words guys. I used rubber shelf covering and did exactly what this guy says in the below youtube tutorial. I used a Createx transparent black first, than Parma Chrome with the shelving paper, than I mixed a dark blue to back it but you really can't tell. Also everything was airbrushed and I used Bob Dively's Liquid mask with Createx and Wicked Paints. I also backed it with the spray version of the rubber stuff called "Dip It" which I have been using on all my shells and it really seems to protect the paint. I'm going to mess around with possibly a real light transparent color first to make a colored carbon fiber effect for future shells.
