I started working on a Parma '57 Chevy Bel-Air this week. Its been a lot of liquid mask and I used the protective mask as well to good advantage. He said he wanted a "50's Hot Rod look" so that's what I went for. No neons, but the orange and yellow still pop great with the black.

Next step is gluing the (3) components together. Fortunately, this body will be for show. I'd hate to see it hit the wall in racing.

My favorite part of airbrushing bodies is peeling off the exterior mask like in the picture below. Then, you know if you have the look you were hoping for!
