Hood Vents, inpired by Aston Martins, and Saturn Sky,,,, Will be Satin Black when finished,,,

Dont worry Im still building the other hood that will just take alittle longer,,,

First step, old school way to get a compound surface, laying down some two part apoxie,,,









Now that I have the surface, I can now create the vent and not worry about matching the surface,,,















Now to build some hieght back into the vent





































Louvres coming soon, there will be 7 of them,,,

These always come out with a greyish color. Are you painting them gray? or using some sort of product that has a purpose and just happens to be gray? like a sealant or something?

Its just primer, its better to see all the wrinkles dips and highpoints when you have a coat of primer on the surface,,,

Eyelids are sweet!

Hood vents look pretty cool- and functional as well.

yup, that was also part of the inspiration, I had an extra set of the plastic fender vents and layed them up there but the curve was slightly off,,, that also reminds me I still have to send that photoshopped fender to ya,,,
