LowriderMini Hood Prep & Tape Out

🎥 PREP & TAPE OUT: Laying the Foundation for a Lowrider Mini Hood | ‪@SprayGunner‬ Project

In this video, I walk you through the full prep, layout, and tape-out process for a custom mini hood provided by SprayGunner — all done in a classic automotive/lowrider-style graphic design.

From surface prep to layout planning, this video covers everything that happens before the paint hits the panel. It’s the behind-the-scenes work that sets the stage for the live paint session.

🛠️ What You'll See in This Video:

Surface prep for paint over a silver metallic base

Planning symmetrical graphic flow across the hood

Using FBS Fineline Tape for clean, precise designs

Creating layered, repeatable layout elements
