Final update, Finished build will be posted very soon.
My last challenge on this build was to try to duplicate the look on the headers.
Thank you to David Bogard and Greg Hollond for your help and suggestions on how to duplicate the headers.
I chromed these headers with the Molotow chrome pen a week ago.
Yesterday I broke out my airbrush, that I swore I would never try to use again. I was never able to get any good results with an airbrush.I knew if I brushed Future on the headers it would dull them. So I loaded the air brush with some Future and sprayed it on the headers. To my surprise they looked very chrome with very little dulling effect.
Then for another process I never tried before, I applied a wash to the headers. I used acrylic paint, thinking if I don't like the results I could just wash it off. I mixed some black paint with water to make it very thin and applied it with a Q tip and it looked pretty good. Then I took some dark tan paint and added a little black to darken the paint. Then applied that with the Q tip. I left this dry for around six hours and applied two coats of Future with a paint brush.
I guess I got lucky, I'm pleased with the results.
