Missed a spot, the B end. Wait no pic of that.

Nice job, looks great.

Thanks… both ends were faded…given flat coats…oil washes…more flat…grime overspray…
Doesn’t really matter because all that was over black…and black you know really doesn’t show too much when it’s subtle…

Yep, black is hard to weather. Fade, rust, and dirt is about the best for black to bring out the detail and highlights. Looks great and not overdone.
