I'd like to know the answer to this too.

Don, I have seen the Monster Garage Jesse James drag VW "in person". You are correct, the painted new steel, aluminum, and fiber glass parts look just like the rest of the original "rusted body". You won't see any brush marks, it's more like a movie make up person did it. Perfect finish for a Rat Rod.
