    How can I make this custom Lamborghini Bull fan grill, breath better?
    I was thinking maybe drill small even holes through the bull. But that might look like crap. ?? Or just drill the word "Lamborghini" in his back??

    What do ya think?

    You could lift the bull off of the ring by using some spacers, like lifting it a half inch should help. It's a cool design, I love it!

    Agreed... spacers would give you the flow you are looking for.

    Only other thing that I could recommend, is that if you cut out the bull body, leaving the outside line (like a frame of the body) then back it with speaker mesh... that is about the only thing I could offer up.

    I think the spacer idea would look better. The outline would be a problem for the nostril, inner horn, and the legs and tail would have to be left alone (too thin to outline), which would just leave the body itself as an outline.
    I'll go with the spacer idea.

    Finally started painting the hood scoop red. Needs to cure for a couple of weeks before I start applying pearl, clear, and wet sanding. I'll post some pics tomorrow night on what I have so far.

    First 3 coats of pearlescent red paint.









    Coats 4 and 5.











    I'll let coats 4 and 5 cure for awhile before I apply the Candy Apple Red.
    Then will come 4 or 5 coats of Clear paint.

    I see a couple of mistakes I'll have to fix first.
    And decided to paint the mesh with the first coats of pearl so I can get inside the scoop with a few coats of red. I'll re-paint the mesh later.

    Decided to add a few more coats of pearl first to make it a richer color.













    Now comes the Candy Red and Clear coats.
