It lacks that hood with 30 scoops on it.

Killed Mark Hamils career. I made it through the movie on the second try.

I would let this guy paint my car is a heart beat. I'd probably even drive it down there for it.

I think a dark blue paint with that "shimmer" or candy look to it would be cool.

You could clear over the metal base no problem. It looks like the dull side of tin foil. I want a WS6 done in it with some black chrome wheels. Too bad it's $200 a pint

Eric-what's up amigo!

2002- there is a wild blue that's based off this same basecoat, I'd love to see something done in it. (big $$$)

I'm pretty sure I'm done kandying, I have to let my eyes adjust and go check it out. Staring at that while painting it, then come out of the booth everything in the shop looks off color-wise.

IT looks purple or even red in some of the pics- that's the kandy screwing with the camera lens. Trust me, it's pink

Dammit! I just finished clearing it, and I left the camera on, running the batery dead. I guess my estimate of 10 hours to spray it was optimistic... it took right at 11

Finished pics tomorrow!

IT's a semi-downdraft booth. It also has a lift so I can get the rockers and lower areas covered well. I'm done recovering from my 16 hour day on Thursday, I'll put new pics up tonight.

Wow! That looks really cool man. I never thought I would like a pink car, but this has changed my opinion. Very cool!

nice to see the better pics and it still looks good. yeah i always liked semi downdraft booths. where im working know though, we have a full downdraft with a basement adn the whole floor is a grid. keeps the overspray at a minimum and paintjobs come out super nice.
