I used guards red model paint to touch up some scratches.

Those yellow calipers look great! But you forgot to take off the lines and nipples first.

It came out good. I just finished doing the brakes... and I had some white out in the tool tray (Its great for marking vacuum line, etc); and I just went over the lettering with it. It appears to work well. Its lasted 8 months so far

I busted my hump getting these done while my help sat by the wet bar, watching TV and eating peanuts.
NO ****! What color was that bird before you powder coated it?

White out is pretty funny!
I used model paint on scratches to. Then that porsche lettered sticker thing above the bumper, well it was missing a few sections so a sharpie seemed to do the trick. Just I have to fix it after every wax.

No, we did not forget anything. They were there because we did not want to get any powder inside calipers. Afterwards those parts were replaced by new factory ones, including all seals and pistons.

White. I tried doing flames but she would not hold still long enough for a nice looking job, I started wiping it of but it was starting to dry and that is what I ended up with.
