Don't quit your day job yet :)
Nice looking Bertha BTW. I just did that paint job on an upscale: http://home.flash.net/~samily/june-...or/hpr-sat.html FWIW, this NC was one of my early turnings. I've learned a good set of calipers is a huge help.
How will you do the black? I used peel-n-stick monokote for the roll pattern and long stripe. Much less stressful than trying to mask everything off and not get any bleeding.
