New art panel

Been working on a aluminum panel as a gift for Lucky Hanks ,Lucky is a source of inspiration for me he is so knowledgeable about building cool cars and fixing stuff the right way .The panel was cleaned really good then a grinder was used to rough up the surface in no particular way . I then shot several coats of clear urethane paint on it and then sanded it smooth. My design starts with transfer paper smoothed out on the edges drawn out then cut out with razor blades. Now the fun , spraying some candy color over the panel and when it drys I"ll pull off the transfer tape to reveal the design .the ground metal effect reflects light in different directions even under the candy paint which is transparent Then I'll apply the gold leaf lettering and the pinstripe and finally a bit of clear and shes done until i buff it out .Thanks Lucky ;Merry Christmas !
