CETA on red/yellow firehawk?
im thinking about putting the CETA on my red firehawk with yellow accents. I would do the black PONTIAC fill ins and probaby the semi-gloss CETA. So do you all think that it would mess up the yellow accents or do you think go for it?
here is a picture for reference:

haha thanks, I used some El cheapo Black Can of Spray paint Like 3 bucks. And I had some primer at home along with some blue masking tape used for mainly painting. I sanded it down to the point where the paint was just really FUBAR'ed, then put two coats of primer, let it dry, then 3 coats of reg black paint, then i put some clear coat on but thought i looked cheap so I sanded it down and put two more coats of black paint. Let it dry! The most important part is taping EVERYTHING off and also takes the longest and make sure you wipe with paint thinner inbetween each layer of paint just to get rid of impurities, and dust, not too much untill the point u take the previous layer of allow it to evaporate, etc. REALLLYYY EASYY!!! Dont pay someone 150+ bucks to do it, most people are intimidated by this "mod" but it is simple just have confidence!
