Paintjob, I'm pretty adept with an airbrush and masking. The airborne shot, I'm pretty adept with one handed driving and camera operation The mini wheel brace is a pretty common tool among nearly all manufacturers.
P.S. The paints used are Parma Faskolor Satin Chrome and Pearl Charcoal. I use Parma paints because they're water based acrylics, and while they're not the easiest to work with, they're a lot easier on my respiratory system. The outlines are in chrome, filled in charcoal, and the candy effect was derived with a charcoal/chrome/charcoal layer.
Here's a close up.
