Default From Forza to fruition

Alex41 has been contemplating a little paint work on his T/A. So this week we finally pulled the trigger and sprayed some color on his hood and bumper. Unfortunately I had to buy a new spray gun and had no time to try it out. But after some wetsanding and buffing this is what turned out...

They're working fine for me. Looks good, I like the red pin stripping.

I'm undecided...

Paint work looks great though. Did you finish the "stripe" all the way to the back of the car?

The stripe is only on the hood and bumper. I dont think it really needs to go all the way back though.

This sucks...It's my car and I can't see the pics on my computer. lol

Thanks for the kind words guys. I really am not a fan of black wheels. I'll probably go with some wide polished rims in the future but I'm still on the fence as to which ones. I would LOVE Fikse FM5's but I don't have that kind of money.

Personally i would have stopped at the nostrils the bumper looks awkward to me. Paint work looks great. An the red pin stripe sets it off. And I would finish the stripe Out back on the spoiler and bumper.

A nice Pintiac Arrow like from the back of a G6 would look great on the bumper. Would bring reason to the pointed paint scheme up from.

Looks nice, but not really liking the bumper section. I wouldve just painted the nostril sections on the bumper. I guess that's what you would call em lol

My cousin had that same style paint scheme on the hood (didnt do anything on the bumper) and has his rear spoiler painted all black. He now has the VFN WSQ hood, so idk if he'll continue the same scheme on that hood or not.
