I went to great lengths to replicate the overspray, or more correctly, "throughspray" on the spare of my Yenko tribute, as the others were Torque Thrust O's. My painter thought I was a little nuts.

He also thought I was nuts when I asked him to put a glove smear in the paint inside one of the cutouts for the deck lid spoiler bolts.

I got the hairy eyeball from my painter also when I requested certain things....Joe

Same here, had to explain it to the painter twice. Not quite as heavy as the HO pic you have Joe, but I'm sure there was some variation.
