Those are drawer or cabinet knobs. It is an old custom trick.
Check out Aaron Grotes custom bubble top. the grill in that is also cabinet knobs.

So go to your local home improvement or hardware store and buy enough chrome cabinet knobs to fill your grill area. You will probably need some metal screened mesh to fill your grill area as well.

I thought that was probably it but it seemed too easy!

Kinda feel stupid (but on my way to the hardware store).

Thanks

Well normally Id take that as a Jab

VonDust · 11-19-2008, 11:35 PM

Here's the top of my 1964 Cadillac. this was my first Lace job i painted, second flake job as well.

VonDust · 11-19-2008, 11:37 PM

Here's another pic, down in the basement in Detroit last March. The car is for sale by the way.

old53chevy · 11-19-2008, 11:48 PM

How do you shoot a lace job? Is it similar to a flake where you shoot it as a mid coat?

Nekronomicon · 11-20-2008, 01:24 AM

Spray basecoat, lay down lace, spray another colour basecoat. Do a search or go through vondust's posts.

That is one sweet Cuda! There are some real works of art on this posting. I wish I could paint as good as some of the painters that did these cars.
