#515806Brushed Steel Hood
Hey guys, just thought I would share a mode I just recently did to my GS.I wanted to come up with something new and original which I haven't seen here yet (stateside anyways). I ended up stripping it and sanding it right down to the bare steel. Thank God for no rock chips or dings, otherwise this idea would not be possible.

From here, I let the artistic juices flow and bring my vision to life to bring you guys something completely fresh
After repainting the center and adding the clear coat, my dream was finally a reality :woohoo: I added a little bit of black paint to the clear coat, to give it a little more smoked look.
Some people will like it and some will hate it. But that's the fun part about a true BUILD. Innovate, create and bringing your concept to life. :thumbup:
Forgive the dark photo. I picked up the car this past Saturday at 9pm from the body shop to bring it down to the Hot Import Daze in Monroe, WA the next day. In the sun it really shines. I'll try to snap some today
