Default CETA and VHT

We finally got some nice weather in NY so I decided to repaint the bumper with more gloss and vht the tails. Turned out pretty nice. It defiantly looks a lot better with the gloss.

I'm pretty sure the paint is a semigloss krylon rattlecan with a couple coats of clear over it. The last time I used this paint it didn't turn out so glossy though. I'm from Island Park, between Long Beach and Oceanside. I'm actually selling that 98. It has to be one of the worst guns I've used.
