She's not satisfied with the finish. She used several different tecniques trying to remove the brush strokes, and ended up with 7 or 8 coats of paint, which shows in the enlarged pics. But this first car was a test run, she says, and as her first Jordan Model ever, I think it looks great!
My only contribution is the license plates. I found pics of letters and numbers appropriate for the era (couldn't find the right font in MS Word), assembled in PSE, scaled down and printed on semi-gloss photo paper. The license number is her idea, it gives the car a "personal touch", as we first met on November 28th two years ago
She's already started on the next car. Same model, but this one will be olive green with black roof, yellow rims and whitewall tires.
