Thought i'd do a quick post to show ya whats in store for Chloe over these colder months.

First up is a quick tidy of the bodywork, I'm replacing the bottom half of the drivers door as its completly shot and the seams at the rear are bubbling so i've gotta treat the rust and spray them up again.

Now not wanting to follow the norm of spraying the whole bottom end in a different colour, i'm trying my hand at lacing.

This will be the effect i'm after, i've not decided yet wether i should do it in a chocolate brown to match the interior, or just a diffenent shade of white to add a ghosted effect, your thoughts are welcome???

Anyways, have a photoshop!

Basically what you do is either buy some lace or raid your Nans curtains, mask up, lay the lace on, spray over the top in the desired colour and you get this nice flowery effect...

Here's an example

Also, i've bought a v6 with autobox, though i'm still not sure yet...
 
hi, i think that will look great. creativity not unfortunately one of my strong points but would be tempted to go for the brown. would make it stand out and certainly look different

What a great idea, gimp ! :)

But should it stand out in a contrasting colour, or just be a different shade of white? Well, that it certainly the question. I'm not surprised that you can't make your mind up on that one, 'cos they're both brilliant alternatives! :p
 
Great idea - have a technical question......

What is the best way of preventing spray bleeding and blobbing up under lace[?]

am guessing working up very thin layers of colour[?]

nice one! Good to see Chloe getting some attention. Are you going to make matching curtains?;)

Funnily enough Jessica has lacy door bottoms too, just not such a nice pattern!
