The car is already painted in different colors ,the hood and 2 front fenders are light gold, back fenders are black and gray, and deck lid is faded red and black and the remaining of the car is black. What I'm trying to accomplish is a faded look all the way around. So I begun cutting the clear coat with scotch brite to try and make everything fade in together, sort of like the paint has aged. Is this the correct way to go about creating the faded/matte look with not having to spend alot and be protected ? Have not chosen a color as of yet , trying to work with what I got already. _________________ Having Fun While Learning With My Build/Refresh/Just get it Driving already S*YTTT!

Thanks for all the feed back..... I read a little and got to thinking after I cleaned the dust from the scotch brite this is how she looks... So I might just buff her out huh

Looked better w/ the dust.
You can try buffing, say the left side of the hood and see if you like it.
Personally, I'd have to do something else. Perhaps rattle-can the whole car one color, then selectively repeat what you've already done.
The problem w/ faux-tina is that most over do it, to the point it looks faked. _________________ Everything known to man has been written.
