Looks very nice.  The black out treatment works well.  I like, very much, how you did the hood.

Here it is, after 6 long, cold and painful months, the Eagle is finally done! 

Way to go Brownbear, that's impressive!  I'm starting on year 4 on mine, lol.  Wish I could restore half as fast as some of the people here.

Holy Crap!!!!   Bro, that is wicked!!!  Dammmm.

I love the black part of the hood fading into the red.  Wow!  That is like Night and Day man.   Did you do that work yourself?  did you take it to a pro painter?  I can't get over the work.

Eggs to you for excellent bodywork and paint.

I did all the work myself, the painting took me about a month.  It's not too bad of a job, considering it was all done with duplicolor spray paint (rattle can).  I didn't have the money to take it anywhere, nor did I have the equipment to do it any other way.  They had a sale here, 99cents a can for dark garnet red and clear coat.  Around 20 coats of paint and clear with lots of wetsanding followed by buffing with 3 different types and compound grits, followed by a coat of carnuba wax.  It's far from show, but it's better than I could have asked for with a spray can.  You need a lot of time, patience and muscle to achieve this, but it works if you don't have a lot of money to spend..........

How are you trying to do the change.  It should be an easy upload from your computer to the avatar box in your profile.  You may need to make your picture smaller so it will load.

I usually make my avatars 120x120 pixels.  Most sites that's the max size.  Then upload it, or just link to it.
