Swirl city with some extras!

Question

Posted

I had a customer come in today who was driving behind a truck that was leaking "something"... My guess is that "something" was brake fluid, as it appeared to be that consistency all over the hood. The would be brake fluid looked like little white dots all over the hood with an oily surrounding around each dot. I could visually tell by the first inspection of the hood that the assumed brake fluid had begun to etch into the clear.

 

My process:

- clay

- clay some more...

- 2 passes of SHR

- 1 pass of FMP

- brilliant glaze

- Americana

 

Here are the results!

Before - take a note at all the "white dots"

Looks great as always Justin!

 

However, I don't think it would have been brake fluid. That stuff will eat through clear and paint almost instantly (voice of experience.) I'd guess it was trans fluid or something like that.

Thanks nick! And it was kind of hard to tell exactly what it was as the dots were extremely small, but trans or some other fluid makes sense. I have seen brake fluid do some nasty damage before as well!

I agree. Great work, but if that was brake fluid you'd be reprinting that hood. Brake fluid does a lot more damage, and it does it fast.
