DwD 0575:  Car Livery - Part 1:  Base Coat/Color Change Options In our first emergency episode of Dominating with Dawson, without Dawson, we tried to cover an area of racing that we have investigated repeatedly, the livery.  In this episode, Vicki and Bill go over several ways to change your car’s color for a base to your livery.  We also cover difficulty, costs, and other things that we have found to help with the process.  This can be intimidating, but with a little practice and patience you can generate pretty impressive results at home for a few hundred dollars, or less with some creativity.  A link to the episode is: https://tinyurl.com/LiveryBaseColorChanges2
