It has been a while since I've given you an online update on the progress of Project Boss 340. While there admittedly hasn't been much said, quite a bit has been done. For a look at more of the painting process, head on over the jump...


A "mask" will be used to isolate the various areas of Boss 340 that will be painted with different colors. Masks are made of stick-on, film-like material, and when they're applied they leave perfectly straight lines for the type of striping that will be done on the Boss.
Before the body mask is applied, measurements are taken that will determine where the breaks in paint colors will be.
Color and related paint chemicals for Boss 340 all come from the BASF family of automotive finishes.
Rob Pitts of Raceskinz is handling the graphics application. Here is a shot with the BASF Super White applied. Viper Red, Mars Gold Metallic and Silver graphics are yet to come.
When the Boss is done, it should look almost exactly like this rendering.

The crew at Raceskinz has been hard at work, smoothing body panels, designing and applying Boss 340's cool new paint and graphics scheme.

A detailed look at all that goes into creating our 'Stang's bad-dude exterior/interior appearance package is coming up soon in 5.0  Mustang & Super Fords, but until the mag comes out, check out these photos. Just a small taste of things that are coming soon.
