In the seventies we used to put stripes and decals on our cars to make them go faster.

Nice work! 🙂

I'm the world's worst rattle can painter. I know my limitations.

Painted the "fin" on our pearl white 2016 PINK so wife could find the car easier, in parking lots... I got lucky, it turned out ok.

I saw a red Camaro SS today with red low profile wheels. Really, really nice looking.
Did you brush that on? Just a rustoleum-tier red oil paint? No spray?

For the brake calipers I used the brush on which is gloriously thick. For the engine cover and accessory bits they have a matching colour spray which I masked off and then baked in the oven for extra curing. 👌🏻

it’s a nice deep red that matches the GT red accents.

I just used vinyl pinstriping. And with the rest of the pinstriping, you can do all the cars in your household. Lol

I'll eventually look into red calipers as well, and I'm probably going to do a red vinyl overlay on the front/rear badging.

Looks awesome! Did you sand the engine cover before painting or just straight on?
