this and some larger scallops would be killer on a cuda..
to get the 3d correct do the lighter base color then the darker color fades over the templates..to get the right dimension.
then use a "hole" template to add the ligher fades like blue,purple,gold or silver..to get a real fish scale effect..
its not that hard..just a steady hand and patience
you have to have dry panels when blowing over with the circle "hole" templates. and it doesnt take much paint..just light dustings.
