I'm honored to say that we have a few members of the B&B who are involved with Ford Australia, but sadly, Neil Trickey isn't one of them.
Trickey's official title is "Prototype Build Co-Ordinator", and his duties include camouflaging new cars before they hit the road. While Trickey's exact tactics are trade secrets, the short video above shows us how some tape, spray paint and special Lycra coverings are used to disguise design changes on prototypes. Trickey also mentions "transfers" being used – which are the technical term for the new type of camouflage with odd looking patterns that are meant to reduce how visible the styling changes really are. But since the Falcon only had minor changes to the front and read end, Trickey went old school.
