Here's a new lamp design that let's me enjoy a great racing livery while I'm still in my office. I started out by radius bending the outer shell and then making the inner punch-flared piece. Everything gets mocked up with clecos ahead of time and then is taken apart and painted. Self etching primer is used, then some build primer. After sanding, the white automotive basecoat is applied and followed up by automotive clear coat.

The actual Martini livery stripes are just shaker can enamel (a combination of Duplicolor and Rustoleum colors). Each stripe is masked by hand with 3M fine line tape. After the paint dries the riveting begins. Aircraft universal head rivets are set with a squeezer to avoid marring the paint.
