[Customs] Pearlized Auto-Air Test Mule

It hadn't been revealed yet, but With the new batch of Illustrious cars, I was getting quite bored of the dullest white
ever used to paint a car, so I upgraded to a pearlized airbrush paint by Auto-Air. Having some funky results I
haven't seen before, it was crucial to know whether the paint itself is translucent or if its opaque like the bottle suggests.

There had been this one red 911 sitting in my basement for the longest time. I've been meaning
to give it the black hood/black wing treatment like I did with the silver 911 I painted for the very
first time, and it being a solid gloss red, it was perfect for testing the paint's opacity.
