My customer had recently finished a 1977 Pontiac Trans Am restoration and wanted the bird mural painted on the hood rather than the factory vinyl decal. Additionally, the customer painted the car with a nice pearl blue color and wanted the bird artwork to coordinate using a blue color palette. I was supplied with a reference photo of the original bird decal used on this Trans Am. I was asked to replicate it as close as possible while also adding some customization such as realistic blue fire.
